The details, in daylight
Slightly Stoopid played The Salt Shed Outdoors (Fairgrounds) in Chicago on 26 July 2026, with The Elovaters, Bumpin Uglies in support. This show has already taken place — see Slightly Stoopid's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
The Fairgrounds is The Salt Shed's outdoor stage, set between the indoor Shed and the Chicago River with the city skyline behind it. The venue describes it as its elevated festival-style communal space, with a custom grandstand, a premium balcony, rooftop ticketing and a run of local retailers. It occupies the old Morton Salt complex on North Elston Avenue — salt was packed here from 1929 until operations ceased in 2015, and the plant's sign was a landmark on the way into town — which the team behind Empty Bottle and Thalia Hall reopened as a music venue in 2022. Slightly Stoopid are a San Diego band, signed early by Sublime's Bradley Nowell, whose reggae-punk-funk blend made them a self-sufficient amphitheatre institution.
