I can't believe I'm defending a member of Pearl Jam but www.tower-theatre.com is NOT the official website for the Tower Theatre.  A big hint is that you are immediately redirected to www.philadelphia-theater.com.
It's a secondary ticket site.  Like stub hub.  I think ALL Tower Theatre shows are through Live Nation and on their website they have tickets at $78.00.  $94.50 with fees.

Here is a Chicago festival I can back.

Neon Marshmallow Festival Returns To Melt Faces


One of the more unusual  festival success stories of recent years, 2010's  Neon Marshmallow Festival  gathered a multitude of artists who fall under experimental music's wide-reaching, yet hard-to-define grasp, and spread them out over
four days at the Viaduct Theater.

In a world of Lollapaloozas, Neon Marshmallow's esoteric bent toward wide-ranging avant-garde from around the world – artists traveled from as far Japan,
Belgium and Australia to play – helped it stand out from the summer festival pack. So much so that, despite  the niche focus  and the
financial uncertainty for  organizers Dan Smith and Matt Kimmel, a
2011 edition is a go.

This week, Neon Marshmallow announced via
their Facebook page this year's festival will take place at the  Empty Bottle, rather than the Viaduct, and will run from June 10th through the 12th.

Here's the line-up so far:

Morton Subotnick
Oneohtrix Point Never
Pelt
Bill Orcutt
White Rainbow
Rene Hell
The Rita
Pulse Emitter
Outer Space (John from Emeralds)
Spiral Joy Band (members of Pelt)
James Plotkin
Sword Heaven
Telecult Powers
Sickness
Leslie Keffer
Sick Llama
Dylan Ettinger
Mike Shiflet
Beau Wanzer

Of all the groups listed here, Oneohtrix Point Never is arguably the most well-known, having scored the number 20 slot on
on Pitchfork's top 50 albums of 2010
for last year's beautiful Returnal. Pre-sale complete passes for the 3-day fest
are now available at $60.

The move from the Viaduct to the Bottle is noteworthy, as the
Bottle's capacity is about 400 people,
which is a little bit larger, if we're not mistaken. Losing a day is unfortunate, but perhaps this move will make putting on Neon Marshmallow more financially
feasible. More information will come, no doubt, but with this revelation, Chicago's underground music fans have much to salivate over.

haven't heard a single one, am I not indie enough?  ;D

Pelt, Sick Llama and maybe James Plotkin are the only ones I've ever heard of. Guess that I don't get around in that genre of music.
Multiple genres are represented. Pelt do not exactly sound like Rene Hell.


And Bill Orcutt might be the furthest thing from Oneohtrix Point Never.


I guess it kind of leans toward analog synth generated music on the whole but even looking at it that way, it is hard to draw similarities between many acts. Morton Subotnick, Rene Hell and OPN are all very different, for instance.
I love me some White Rainbow and well all of Forkner's guises really.
