of Montreal live in Chicago

Experience of Montreal live on June 30th

of Montreal is scheduled to perform at Thalia Hall in Chicago, Illinois on June 30, 2026. The band, fronted by Kevin Barnes, is known for its eclectic and evolving musical style. Initially emerging from the Elephant 6 Collective scene in the late 1990s, their sound blends elements of psychedelic pop, indie rock, glam rock, and electronica. Over their career spanning multiple albums, of Montreal has consistently experimented with diverse instrumentation and lyrical themes, often incorporating theatrical and surreal imagery.

Thalia Hall itself is a historically significant venue located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. Originally constructed in 1892 as a German cultural center built by the West Side Turnverein, it served as a social hub for the city’s German immigrant community hosting performances, lectures and athletic events. Following a period of decline in the mid-20th century, it underwent extensive renovations completed in 2013. The restored hall now functions as a multi-purpose event space featuring a concert hall with standing room capacity alongside a restaurant and boutique hotel. Its architecture retains many original features reflecting its late 19th-century origins and contributing to its unique atmosphere.
