There is a rave going down on a brown line train this weekend!
Chicago music festival season just got an unexpected addition to the lineup.
This Saturday, dynamic DJ duo Sock & Buskin will liven up the otherwise drab CTA commute by transforming a Brown Line train into rave venue with a live, five-hour set.
Hosted by Chicago-based event company Redline, the train rave, known as Redline Express, will take over six CTA cars from 7pm to 11pm on June 15. In collaboration with battery-powered sound system company SOUNDBOKS, the DJs will play their mixes through 10 SOUNDBOKS speakers throughout the train.
The transpo-rave is split into two halves, with departures from Kimball at 7pm and 9:20pm. Remaining tickets, available here, are $75 per person and includes access to the entire experience. Attendees can check in and board the trains 40 minutes before departure.
This is pretty cool!
