Quinn XCII at Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom

LOOK! I’m Alive Tour 2025

Okay y’all - Let’s back up for a second. Quinn XCII has been doing this for a minute. Since the early 2010s  when he was just uploading heartfelt tracks from a college dorm room, Quinn (real name Mikael Temrowski) has been building a fan base brick by brick fan by fan. His music hits so many  sweet spots - pop, hip-hop, soul, electronic, and indie — but he never feels like he’s trying too hard. He just is - and we love him for that. And that’s what’s made him one of the most influential artists of the past decade. He's got sleeper tracks galore - but one you hear him on your morning Daylist, you always leave with a little heart smile. And now with the release of his brand-new album Look! I’m Alive, Quinn is coming to us more honest, more energized, and more here than ever before ironically enough. The title literally is a declaration — a reminder that he’s still here creating, and still pushing forward after years of growth, reinvention, and real life. This tour is his way of sharing that feeling with all of us. It’s the beginning of a new chapter — one that feels like a breakthrough, a deep breath, and a dance floor hug all at once.And it’s coming right here to the Aragon on September 19th - we’re just like, so so lucky. 

And where better to celebrate this new era than Chicago? This city has always been a stop that matters. The energy is different here as we know — louder, sweatier, more alive — and Quinn knows the Chicago kids do it better. This isn’t just him and a mic. This is a stacked bill full of friends, collaborators, and his OGs who have brought him to this point in his career.

First up: Wild Rivers. If you don’t know them already, you’re about to have a new favorite band. This Canadian folk-pop outfit makes the kind of music that sneaks up on you — chill, emotional, nostalgic in all the best ways. Their harmonies are tight, their lyrics cut deep, and their stage presence is magnetic. They’ve toured with The Chicks and Noah Kahan, and now they’re bringing their signature sound to the Aragon for a night that’ll feel like your heart just took a deep breath.

Then there’s Goth Babe, who’s basically the indie-alt dream you didn’t know you needed. Think beachy synths, high-energy guitar, and a whole lot of feeling. It’s surf rock meets electro pop meets “I want to dance and cry in the same moment.” Every time he performs, it’s a good-vibes-only experience — the kind that makes you feel like you’re in a coming-of-age movie about to start the best part of your life.

And don’t sleep on Allen Stone, either. This guy’s voice? Silky smooth. His stage presence? Like a funky pastor of good vibes. He’s got the soul of a ‘70s R&B legend and the energy of your most extroverted friend. Whether he’s belting out heartbreak ballads or jamming with a full band, Allen brings warmth, honesty, and groove to every performance — and we’re so here for it to be honest. 

So - y’all know what to do. Bring your crew. Bring your cousin. Bring your crush. Bring tissues, water, and maybe a backup pair of shoes. Because this night is going to be one to remember — the kind that makes you feel lighter the next day, even if your legs are sore and your voice is gone. We’ll be right there with you making that happen. See ya soon.
