It's still a little early (as of today, 10/13), but New Year's Chicago show options are starting to appear, though not all of them happen on New Year's Eve proper.

Patti Smith, known for her usual New Year's run of shows in NYC, will be performing Horses in its entirety at The Riviera on December 30. Tickets for that are on sale now.

You'll get plenty of chances to catch Lucinda Williams at Evanston's Space, as she'll be playing four nights at the venue from December 28-31. All four shows are sold out

Chicago's own Local H will be up in Lake County, playing Mundelein's The Loaded Buffalo on December 31. That show will find them fresh off of touring with Helmet, and tickets for that are on sale now.

Jam bands more your thing? You'll get three chances to catch Umphrey's McGee as they bring their tour to Chicago for a show at the Riviera on December 29 and two at the Aragon on December 30-31. Tickets for those are on sale now.

For the hip-hop heads there are a couple of loaded options. Reaction NYE is a huge event at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center that takes place over the course of two nights (December 30-31) and features a bunch of EDM and rap heavyweights like Danny Brown, Anderson .Paak, Gucci Mane, Flume and a bunch more. Tickets for one or both nights of that thing are on sale now.
