Long Live The King
Sullivan King Takes Over Concord Music Hall
The Artist: Sullivan King
Keaton Prescott, known professionally as Sullivan King, is a force of nature that single-handedly bridge the gap between heavy metal and bass music. While many DJs might throw a rock remix into their sets, Sullivan King is a classically trained musician who brings his electric guitar on stage, shredding through high-octane riffs while dropping some of the heaviest dubstep in the industry.
His sound is a relentless fusion of scream-vocals, melodic rock elements, and bone-crushing sub-bass. Whether he's collaborating with legends like Excision or releasing metal-heavy anthems on Hopeless Records, he remains the undisputed "King" of the crossover scene.
Why This Show Is Legendary
While Sullivan King often plays massive warehouse stages like Radius, his return to Concord Music Hall brings a level of intimacy and raw energy that is hard to replicate. Concord’s layout allows the "Rage" energy to be contained and intensified, creating a massive, unified pit that spans the entire floor.
In the Chicago bass scene, Sullivan King is considered a staple. His sets aren't just performances; they are high-energy rituals for the "Rage" community. This show is particularly important as it marks the kickoff of the summer festival warm-up, setting the tone for the heavy-hitters we'll see at North Coast and Lollapalooza later this year.

Venue Secrets: Concord Music Hall
The Balcony Advantage
If the pit gets too intense, head to the side balconies. You get a perfect bird's-eye view of Sullivan King shredding the guitar without having to survive the wall of death on the main floor.
Bar Strategy
The main bar in the back is usually three-people deep. Head to the smaller bars located on the balcony levels; the lines move significantly faster, getting you back to the music quicker.
Coat Check Warning
Concord’s coat check is located down a narrow staircase near the entrance. It becomes a massive bottleneck after the show. If you're okay with a quick chilly walk, leave the jacket in the car to save 45 minutes of post-show waiting.
Expect a high-energy support lineup TBA
