Being on the larger side in terms of capacity across music venues in Chicago, Metro can cater for 1100 people between its main floor and balcony. For these reasons, as well as attracting many local and national acts, it also attracts the occasional superstar bands for shows that have a tendency to sell out in minutes.
Unlike many other music venues which cater strictly for over 21’s, Metro hosts a number of events that are friendly for teen audiences, too, allowing Chicago’s youth to enjoy local and national talent. There are some occasions where under 21’s can be escorted into an over 21’s event with valid I.D and a promise not to provide alcohol for the underage participant, but it’s important to check with the venue before assuming this is the case for all events.
