Thanks to all of the DJs who were part of our first Open Decks DJ Showcase last night and to all of you who came out to support them! We are going to reschedule all of the vinyl DJs who didn't get a chance to spin last night. FunkStick will be back at @jackhammerchicago.bsky.social Sun 2/8!

(2/2)The digital DJs scheduled to play in The Hole will now play upstairs. If you bought a ticket for tonight and would like a refund, please email using the link in your ticket email ([email protected]) and I will make sure you get your money back. Thank you so much for your understanding.

(1/2) IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to a major mechanical issue beyond everyone's control, The Hole will not be able to open for FunkStick this evening. That means there will be no Play Area at the party tonight. It also means that we are going to have to reschedule the DJs slated to spin vinyl.
