The former Morton Salt site will open this summer as Salt Shed, a new indoor/outdoor music venue near Goose Island at the western end of Lincoln Park. Salt Shed, located at 1357 N Elston, already has a full lineup of outdoor concerts for 2022 and both indoor and outdoor concerts and events for 2023.

Popular Indie bands, like Fleet Foxes, Mt Joy, Andrew Bird, and Iron & Wine have outdoor concerts scheduled through August. Tickets go on sale this Friday, 2/18.
The group behind this new development, 16 on Center, is no newbie at creating popular Chicago venues, with Thalia Hall, Revival Food Hall, Lou’s Assembly, Longman and Eagle, The Good Ambler, Space, and more all on their roster. While 16 on Center plans to spruce up and modernize the former salt plant, the historic site will keep its original character and iconic signage. The property also sits along a portion of the river that, until now, hasn’t been used as a public amenity.
