Winter music festival Tomorrow Never Knows unveils its 2022 lineup

It's been nearly two years since the last edition of Tomorrow Never Knows, the annual multi-venue music festival that regularly heats up the January concert calendar in Chicago. This year, the series of shows will run from January 19–23, bringing more than 40 acts to Lincoln Hall, Schubas, Metro, Hideout, Sleeping Village and newcomers Golden Dagger.

As usual, the Tomorrow Never Knows lineup is heavy on rising acts, though you will be able to see some more established performers like indie pop duo Best Coast, former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard and rock duo Diet Cig. Notable local acts on the bill include saxophonist and singer-songwriter Sen Morimoto, synth-pop duo Valebol, soulful rock outfit Waltzer, hip-hop duo Air Credits and multi-instrumentalist Macie Stewart (of Chicago experimental rockers Ohmme). According to organizers, additional acts will be added in the coming weeks.

This year, Tomorrow Never Knows has done away with the five-day festival pass that has previously been offered, which allowed attendees to bounce between shows. You'll have to cobble together your multi-day schedule by purchasing individual tickets—each venue put their respective shows on sale this morning.
