The Dolla Takeover
Dom Dolla Live at TAO Chicago
The Artist: Dom Dolla
Dominic Matheson, better known as Dom Dolla, has become the global face of modern tech-house. The Australian producer transitioned from a local Melbourne favorite to an international heavyweight with a string of hits including "Take It," "San Frandisco," and the viral anthem "Rhyme Dust" with MK.
His signature sound—characterized by heavy, driving basslines and infectious, soulful vocals—has made him a fixture at the world's biggest stages. Beyond the studio, Dom is known for his high-energy, technical mixing style that keeps dancefloors locked in from the first beat to the last.
Why This Show Is Legendary
Dom Dolla usually commands massive festival stages like Lollapalooza or EDC. His return to the intimate, high-production setting of TAO Chicago is a rare opportunity to catch a global superstar up close.
TAO’s unique layout—a converted historic stone castle in River North—paired with its massive state-of-the-art sound system, creates a cinematic atmosphere that perfectly complements Dom’s driving house beats. This isn't just a club night; it's a showcase of the current pinnacle of house music in one of the city's most visually stunning venues.

Venue Guide: TAO Chicago
Dress Code is Real
TAO is an upscale venue. Avoid athletic wear, jerseys, and flip-flops. Think "Chicago Nightlife Chic"—the better you look, the faster you get through the door.
Getting There
Located in River North at 632 N Dearborn St. The CTA Red Line (Grand Station) is just a 5-minute walk away. If taking a rideshare, set your drop-off to Ontario & Dearborn to avoid the bottleneck directly in front of the venue.
Parking Mastery
Valet is available but can exceed $40. Pro Tip: Use SpotHero for the garage at 33 W Ontario St or 640 N Wells. You'll save half the cost and avoid the post-show valet wait.
Entry Strategy
Dom Dolla is a massive draw. Lines will wrap around the block by 11:30 PM. Arrive by 10:30 PM to ensure you're inside before his set begins (usually around 1:00 AM).
