Vic Theatre – Chicago, IL Tickets
 

Discover the Iconic Vic Theatre 

Tucked away in the vibrant Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, the Vic Theatre is a historic performance venue that offers an intimate, unforgettable experience for concertgoers. Originally opened in 1912 as the Victoria Theatre, this beautiful, multi-tiered structure began its life as a vaudeville house before transitioning into a movie palace during the golden age of film. Designed by renowned architect John E.O. Pridmore, the Vic has always blended architectural elegance with cultural relevance. 

Today, the Vic Theatre stands as a beloved cornerstone of Chicago’s live music and entertainment scene. Known for its exceptional acoustics and unique dual-level layout, the venue hosts a wide range of artists—from indie and rock icons to comedy legends and eclectic performers. Whether you’re catching a sold-out show from the floor or enjoying the view from the balcony, the Vic offers a concert experience that’s as rich in atmosphere as it is in history.
