DEALS DEALS DEALS.

16” on Center, the proud parent of your favorite neighborhood music venues and restaurants/bars, is going wild for Black Friday. Starting on 11/28, 16% OFF (SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?) MERCH. SHOW DEALS. AND OTHER DEALS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Do some exclusions apply? Oh you better believe they do. So check in on each venue’s socials (and subscribe to their newsletters!) to see what they have cooking up.

And…what are the venues you ask? Just look at Coleslaw and Chester the Dummy. A deep and meaningful friendship based solely on the desire to wear as much 16” on Center merch as possible. Empty Bottle. Salt Shed. Thalia Hall. SPACE. Moneygun. Sunnygun. Pizza Friendly Pizza. And more.

So get after these deals. Get weighed down by all the slick merch we have. And have a great long Thanksgiving weekend.

P.S. Coleslaw (not Chester the Dummy) is in the lovely band and playing at SPACE on January 15th. You should probably go to that.

Mavis Staples - a Chicago icon who has shaped music both in this town and across America. Where would we be without her? We’ve been lucky enough to host her across many 16 On Center venues over the years, becoming a part of her history that is now 85 years in the making - and what an incredibly 85 years they’ve been! On December 6, Jam & 16 On Center present the 93XRT Fall Jam Series, The Mavis Staples 85th Hometown Birthday Celebration at The Auditorium with special guests Jackson Browne and Margo Price. We can’t wait to see you there to honor Mavis as the legend she is! Tickets go on sale September 13 at 10am CT.
