The Hideout Block Party's Triumphant Return!

Hideout listed as a healthy alternative Lollapalooza weekend
Every year in the build-up to the craziness that is Lollapalooza weekend, Timeout Magazine puts together a list of alternate activities, musical and non, for anyone looking to avoid the hoards of drunken suburban ex-pats (that’s not meant to be mean, that’s just Lolla as we now know it).

Hideout + Other Chicago Venues Champion Openness, Expression & Inclusivity
The Hideout has never aimed to homogenize our patronage. So when the Tribune included us in an article last month depicting the various havens, spaces and homes in an exploration of Chicago’s nightlife and entertainment industry’s relationship with the LGBTQIA community, we were honored.
