SPACE in Evanston is one of those special venues that instills a sense of wonder as you walk into its gorgeous space. Old speakeasy atmosphere mixed with a modern sophistication that always feels inviting not matter the show. Last year the venue celebrated its 10th year of providing the north Chicago suburb a place to see spectacular shows with
Out of Space, a series of outdoor concerts happening throughout the summer. Now in 2019, the fantastic series is back to bring that outdoors concert feel to Evanston!
