If you are planning on seeing a Chicago concert at this venue, you may want to know when it was built, and the following information will provide some of the historical details. There are actually several different options available, so be sure to ask for each one!

It was originally called the Byline Bank Ballroom and was owned by the renowned Chicagoan, William J. Byline. The Byline group had originally planned to use the space to host events in conjunction with their bank, but it did not take long before the venue was transformed into an elegant club. The Chicagoan William J. Byline later sold the Aragon property to John R. Shea, a well-known entrepreneur.

Mr. Shea was born in New Jersey in 1908, but his early years were spent in Chicago. He became a successful real estate developer in the Chicago area, especially in the West Loop. The Byline property would eventually be divided into four separate parcels, with each parcel featuring a unique address.

When Shea purchased the property in the 1920s, it was just about finished. The Byline’s design philosophy at the time was to build a “big room,” and this would include a dance floor. He was also very interested in using a full-service restaurant, rather than a bar. However, his focus was not necessarily on food and beverages; it was instead on creating a “big room” that were filled with luxurious furniture, and an attractive decor.

When it was time to make the venue available to the public, Chicago concert organizers were quick to jump on the bandwagon, and began booking Aragon concerts for many years. Today, the location remains one of the premier concert venues in the entire country.

Aragon features four famous rock songs as its opening act. This includes “The Battle of Evermore”, “You’re Going to Miss Me”I’m Still Standing”. Other performers include Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty and Neil Young, and the list of popular performers continues to grow every year.

One of the reasons why the Aragon Ballroom is such a popular venue for Chicago music acts is because of the entertainment line. The sound is clean and clear, and you won’t have to worry about any type of disturbance during your experience. A DJ is always on duty to make sure your party atmosphere is perfect.

As you can see, there is no reason that Chicago concerts should be hard to come by, as Aragon Ballroom boasts some of the best entertainment in the world. Whether you want to see a well known rock act, or you want to take in a show of local talent, Aragon Ballroom can offer you everything you could possibly need. You can take in all types of shows, ranging from small intimate clubs to large arenas. Whatever type of show you prefer, Chicago is the place to be!
