The highly anticipated Frames & Stages is taking over Chicago, bringing an incredible night of music, art, and culture.
If you haven’t started warming up your vocal cords yet, this is your official guide to getting ready. We are pairing the deeply soulful, acoustic magic of Johnny Drille with the raw, hometown hip-hop energy of Chicago’s own Vic Mensa for a night of incredible contrast and pure musical synergy.
To make sure you aren't just standing in the crowd humming along, we’ve put together the essential steps to crafting your ultimate Frames & Stages prep playlist. Here is how to get concert-ready.
1. Master the Ultimate Genre Mashup
The beauty of this lineup lies in the contrast. You’ll want to build a playlist that seamlessly transitions between acoustic folk-soul and hard-hitting Chicago rap.
Start by blending these essential tracks into your daily rotation:
1. Take Your Rehearsal on the Road
Don't waste your daily commute. Whether you are driving through the city or riding the train, turn your headphones up. Use this time to memorize the bridges, nail the cadences, and make sure you know every single lyric before the doors open.
1. Pass the Aux Cord
A concert is always better when the whole squad is on the same page. Share your playlist with the group chat so your crew can harmonize together at the venue.
Pro-Tip: Make it a collaborative playlist on Spotify or Apple Music so everyone can add their favorite deep cuts.
Secure Your Spot Before It’s Too Late
Tickets are moving fast, and the absolute worst-case scenario is showing up only to find a "SOLD OUT" sign staring you in the face.
If you or your friends haven't locked in your entry yet, time is running out.
