The Salt Shed - In Collaboration With The Empty Bottle - Presents The World’s Largest Karaoke Party, August 8
Free Event Gives Chicago Fans Chance To Live Out Their Ultimate Rock Star Fantasy - Or Nightmare - Performing For A Crowd Of 5000+
Four Warm Up Events Held Earlier In July Sold Out Instantly On Their Way To The Big Show
From 4pm-10pm on August 8th, The Salt Shed will make history when it throws the World’s Largest Karaoke Party. For one unforgettable night, the new flagship venue of Chicago’s foremost independent music and hospitality collective, 16 On Center, will give lucky audience members the chance to live out the ultimate rock star fantasy - or nightmare, depending on your perspective - on one of the city’s biggest stages (outdoor capacity at The Salt Shed is 5500). Presented in partnership with The Empty Bottle – the legendary and long-running live music venue and fellow 16 On Center property – the FREE event will be hosted by Chicago karaoke veterans Ryan Murphy and Amber Mueller, with singers chosen at random through an on-site sign up process. Additional select performance slots will be raffled off with all proceeds going to local charities.

With 16 On Center venues selling over one million tickets collectively each year, Empty Bottle owner Bruce Finkleman and managing partner Matt Ciarleglio, conceived the World’s Largest Karaoke as a “weird and different” way to give back with a free event that, like all 16 On Center venues, aims to foster community and make history -- while giving the beloved music fans a chance to get on the big stage and show off their talent. Ciarleglio promises surprises, special guests and more at The Salt Shed on August 8.
To give attendees the chance to prepare for their big break, and potentially win a guaranteed spot on August 8th, four satellite events were held earlier this month at renowned karaoke spots across Chicago, including The Empty Bottle, Cafe Mustache, Alice’s Lounge and Revel Room. All four warm-up nights sold out quickly, building both anticipation and camaraderie, for the main event at The Salt Shed.
