Chicago Psych Fest

A winter tradition that's just as enjoyable as ice skating in Maggie Daley Park or standing under the heat lamps on CTA platforms, the annual Chicago Psych Fest brings a lineup of trippy bands to the Hideout. This year, the event takes place over the course of a single evening, welcoming ambient Michigan duo lovesliescrushing, acoustic-meet-electronics project Exoplanet, art-punk outfit Les Strychnine, local psych-rockers Dead Feathers and eclectic krautrock collective Spiral Galaxy. Throw on a tie-dye shirt, grab your jacket and spend an evening floating in the musical cosmos.
