About this show
Big Thief brings the Double Infinity Tour routing to The Salt Shed in Chicago, IL on Friday, May 29, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a general-admission club (3,600-capacity), which sits at the club-size end of the room sizes on this tour. Setlists often include unreleased material being workshopped on the road; recording is usually permitted but flash photography is not.
The Double Infinity Tour routing builds on Big Thief's catalog (the act traces its origin to Brooklyn, NY) and draws on the act's most recent body of work. Openers on indie tours are frequently artists worth the early arrival — lineups are curated rather than commercial.
Recent stops on the tour have featured a guest appearance at the end of the main set; whether the pattern continues here remains to be seen.
Bag checks at this venue are clutch-only; backpacks are generally turned away at the entrance.
Surrounding neighborhoods offer plenty of pre-show food options within a ten-minute walk; reservations are not usually required outside of weekend dates.
If primary inventory is depleted, scan official lottery and standby drops in the seventy-two hours before the door time — these are easy to miss.
Accessible viewing platforms at this venue are first-come within their respective sections; arriving with doors usually secures a sightline.
Merch lines at the front-of-house stand can run twenty to forty minutes during set breaks; the side-stand near the lobby is usually faster.
Tickets, official venue policies, and any updated start times should be confirmed via The Salt Shed's box office on the day of the show. Direct support has not yet been confirmed.
