Aragon Rock Fest 2009

Today, Wednesday, Nov 25 8:00p
at Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL
Price: $35.00
Age Suitability: None Specified
Tags: rock, fest, aragon

A Chicago institution, this concert hall has staged rock shows with the likes of Nirvana, Santana and The Smashing Pumpkins since the mid-1960s and has featured live entertainment since the 1920s. It earned the nickname of "the Brawlroom" because of the folding chairs that are sent flying during mosh pit formation. Drinks are served in plastic cups and are overpriced like most strictly performance venues. The theater features occasional salsa and blues nights. The Aragon is somewhat run down these days, only a shade of its former, more glittery self. Call for performance schedule.

The Aragon was built in 1926 by two brothers, William and Andrew Karzas, at an exorbitant cost of two million dollars (considering the price of admission was only .90c). The Aragon, named after a providence in Spain, was the crowing jewel in a cluster of lucrative properties owned by the Karzas.
