Chance the Rapper Hosting Get Out the Vote Concert

Chance the Rapper’s nonprofit organization SocialWorks and Virgin Hotels Chicago are hosting a free rooftop concert to encourage Chicago’s youth to vote. The show will take place on top of the hotel (on 203 N. Wabash Avenue) on Monday, November 7 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Central. There will be performances from Twin Peaks, Malcolm London (who just dropped his album OPIA), Chance’s younger brother Taylor Bennett, Eryn Allen Kane, oddCouple, Stefan Ponce, and more. In addition, Chance and SocialWorks will lead groups to the nearest polling station to vote.

In a press release, Chance said, “This election is very important, a chance for new leaders and new opportunities to emerge.” He continued, “SocialWorks and I are proud to partner with Virgin Hotels Chicago, Boost Your Voice and The TurboVote Challenge to give everyone a voice in the democratic process and encourage people to vote, both locally and nationally.”
