The All-In Music Fest Hits Halsted Street on April 13

The indoor music fest aims to put Halsted's Music Mile on the map.

On Halsted Street from aliveOne to The Store is a mile of iconic bars that give music lovers a taste of some of the best and most eclectic music by local artists. On Thursday, April 13, they will come together to host "The All-In", a one-day indoor music festival in Lincoln Park to celebrate Chicago's music scene and to put Halsted's Music Mile on the map.

All music venues between Diversey Parkway and Armitage Avenue will participate including aliveOne, Four Star Lounge, The Wild Hare, Kingston Mines, B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted, Tonic Toom, and The Store. With Kingston Mines (opened in 1968), B.L.U.E.S. (opened in 1979) and aliveOne (currently celebrating 20 years), there’s so much music history on Halsted Street that often goes overlooked, so it’s about time they came together and put a spotlight on Halsted’s Music Mile.

Music will start as early as 6 p.m. and guests are encouraged to walk bar to bar for a night full of live music sets by local bands and DJs along with drink specials at each venue. Read on for the complete lineup at each location and specials.
