In a statement posted to social media today, Chicago’s popular venue The Mid has announced its imminent closure in February 2019.

We want to thank all the fans, artists, employees, agents, managers, and promoters who have supported us throughout this era. As a token of our appreciation, we are putting together some very special events leading up to that “One Last Song.” It’s been an incredible run to say the least but now it’s time to turn the page as we raise our glasses to what will be the end of an era, and the beginning of our next chapter.”
— Lucas King and Nick Karounos, owners, co-founders
King and Karounous also own Prysm and Concord and have plans to open at least one more venue in the area.
