concert outlook || summer 2013

I'm back state side + things aren't as bad as I was expecting. I actually started to miss Chicago quite a bit + I'm happy to see that the weather is warmer + my concert calendar for the next couple of months is quite robust. The shows bolded below are the ones that I'll definitely be attending:

5.14 | Kurt Vile + the Violators | Lincoln Hall

5.15 | Youth Lagoon | Metro

5.15 | Digitalism | Bottom Lounge

5.16 | Four Tet DJ set | Smart Bar

5.18 | Foals | The Vic

5.18 | Foals DJ set | Primary

5.18 | Flying Lotus | Metro

5.19 | The Shins | Aragon Ballroom

5.22 | XXXY | Lincoln Hall

5.26 | John Talabot | Lincoln Hall

5.31 | Eats Everything | Smart Bar

6.1 | Twin Shadow | Metro

6.8 | Mount Kimbie | Lincoln Hall

6.10 | CHVRCHES | Lincoln Hall

6.13 | Dirty Projectors | Lincoln Hall

6.14 - 6.16 | Taste of Randolph | Randolph Street

7.5 - 7.7 | Wavefront Music Festival | Montrose Beach
7.19 - 7.21 | Pitchfork Music Festival | Union Park

Of the ones that are not bolded, I'll most likely check out the Foals DJ set if I'm up for it after their show at The Vic. Twin Shadow is also pretty likely if tickets are still available. I need to check on that one. Also, I don't think I've seen the actual daily lineup for Taste of Randolph, but there are some pretty great names performing there including The Joy Formidable, Escort, + JC Brooks + the Uptown Band. I hope to make it to at least one of the days. 

I'm still playing catch up to all of the happenings while I was out, but any other shows that I'm missing? I have serious FOMO about these sorts of things, so please let me know.

I've got a spare ticket up for grabs for most of these shows so holler if you're interested. And if you're already going, please say hello!
