It’s official—Q101 is taking over the West Loop for the 28th annual Taste of Randolph!!
We’re shutting down Randolph Street and turning it into the loudest block in the West Loop! The Q101 West Stage at Taste of Randolph 2025 is stacked with your favorite alt bands and some serious up-and-comers. Get ready for explosive sets from OK Go, Phantogram, Slow Joy, Slow Pulp, and a legendary return from Spitalfield.
But we’re just getting started—Scarlet Demore, The Junior Varsity, Moontype, Showoff, Alive Girl, and more are bringing the noise all weekend long. From raw guitars to synth-pop vibes, this stage is where you’ll find your new favorite band (or 5).
This is where great music, killer food, and summer in Chicago all collide.

Block off the weekend, bring your crew, and get ready to experience Taste of Randolph 2025, Q101-style.
