HOTDOG HOTDOG is a bun-believably captivating audio-visual experience like no other. Live-mixed visuals interact with DJs, bands, comedians, and the crowd across a night of meaty musical mayhem. Step into the steam and sizzle of HOTDOG HOTDOG: an all-beef, all-senses audiovisual takeover that could only happen in Chicago. Smell the mustard. Hear the snap of the pickle. Feel the bass rattle your buns. From the Loop to Logan Square, this is a night for anyone who knows there’s no ketchup in art.

This is no ordinary show. It’s a fully-loaded, 4D experience where you can see, taste, smell, and hear the humble hot dog in glorious, ridiculous excess. Digitally rendered dogs (created by slinging real glizzies at high-speed cinema cameras) collide with live performances by Chicago's best musicians and comedians. Each act remixes the visuals in real time, turning every bite and beat into a one-of-a-kind sensory feast.

Arrive early for a dog-forward pre-show: eat real Chicago-style hot dogs (yes, vegan too) and shop with local artists and their hot dog merch. It’s part concert, part cookout, part hallucinogenic condiment dream. Whether you're from Pilsen or Portage Park—come hungry, leave high on hot dog. Everyone’s a wiener!
