She & Him live in Chicago

Experience She & Him live on September 20th

She & Him is the indie pop duo comprised of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Their music generally evokes a 1960s girl group sound, characterized by close vocal harmonies, vintage instrumentation – often featuring prominent basslines and understated percussion – and a nostalgic aesthetic. Released since 2008, their discography includes original songs alongside covers of classic pop standards.

The Riviera Theatre, the venue for their September 20, 2026 performance in Chicago, originally opened in 1918 as a cinema. Over its history, it transitioned through various uses including a movie palace showcasing both films and stage shows. By the 1970s, it became primarily a live music venue, hosting performances by numerous prominent artists across diverse genres.

Architecturally, the Riviera is noted for its Spanish Baroque interior design, featuring ornate detailing and a grand atmosphere. Significant renovations occurred in 1986 to address structural concerns and modernize facilities while retaining much of its historical character. The venue currently operates with a capacity of approximately 2,500 standing or 1,750 seated attendees and remains a popular choice for national touring acts.
