Empty Bottle 25th anniversary concerts

Operate a music venue for a quarter of a century and there's a pretty good chance that some soon-to-be-famous acts will perform. The Empty Bottle has long been a preferred stop for up-and-coming bands, hosting groups like the White Stripes, Arcade Fire and the Black Keys long before they started selling out arenas.

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the Bottle is hosting a series of concerts (dubbed EB25) throughout 2017 that welcome back memorable acts from the venue's past. No, you probably won't see Jack White taking the stage, but you will be able to catch some local heroes (Tortoise, Local H) and garage rock legends (New Bomb Turks).

We'll be updating this list as the Empty Bottle announces more EB25 shows throughout the year.
