In short: 47 shows from 2018 to 2026, 23 of them in Chicago, 17 in 2023 alone. PRYSM is the venue I've been to most and ZHU is the artist I've seen most.
I keep a list of every show I go to. Here it is as numbers.
Tap a year to see who.
A few things the list says
- 2023 was the big year. 17 shows. No other year has more than 9.
- Chicago is home base. At least 23 of the 47 were in Chicago. Brooklyn, Detroit, Las Vegas, LA, Milwaukee and Rothbury make up most of the rest.
- PRYSM is my most visited venue. 11 shows, most of them SERUM nights in 2024.
- ZHU is the artist I've seen most. Four times, from a Lollapalooza aftershow in 2022 to Navy Pier this August. Massano is next with three.
