Venues in Chicago, IL, made easy.

Independent operators run Chicago's booking ladder. 16" on Center alone stretches from the Empty Bottle's 400-cap room to the Salt Shed's converted Morton warehouse on Elston, Jam Productions has booked the city outside the Live Nation system since 1972, and Sleeping Village on Belmont takes direct pitches from local bands. Talent buyers here trade notes, so a strong Tuesday at a small room travels fast.

Chicago invented house music and changed hip-hop with drill. From Bronzeville studios cutting tomorrow's anthems to the Logan Square DIY rooms hosting indie premieres — Chicago's scene is wildly diverse and tightly local. KollabMe puts the producer in Wicker Park, the venue in Pilsen, and the photographer in Bridgeport one swipe away.

Booking the right show is a curation game — and most venues are still doing it through scattered email chains. KollabMe gives you a live network of artists matched by genre and KollabScore, with portfolios and audio you can hear before you commit to a booking.
