Get ready for Tomorrow Never Knows 2011

Posted by Frank

Summer is behind us and harsh winter months are going to try their best to cramp Chicago's live music style, but never fear: Tomorrow Never Knows music fest will return from January 12-16, 2011 for its seventh installment courtesy of Schubas and Lincoln Hall. Sure, you might not be able to watch the bands while relaxing in the hot sun making fun of wacky hipster outfits, but a music fest is a music fest. And TNK '11 should be one well worth attending. This year Schubas and Lincoln Hall have partnered with Metro, adding a third venue to the festivities. The three will host plenty of excellent bands - local and beyond - over TNK's five days, a portion of which you can see below.

Starting this Friday, October 29 at 12 p.m., you can purchase $75 five-day passes as well as $15 single-day passes to the fest at the websites of all three venues.
