When the Sun Sets

Saturday May 23rd

WHEN THE SUN SETS PRESENTS: "The Cards We're Dealt" DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE SHOW Every year, When The Sun Sets return home to the Chicagoland area to throw one of the most special shows of the year — The Hometown Heater. It’s become a tradition: a packed room full of friends, fans, and some of the best bands in the Midwest scene celebrating the music community that helped build this band from the beginning... And in 2026, we’re celebrating it with a little something extra... THE RELEASE OF OUR DEBUT ALBUM "The Cards We're Dealt". This album has been over two years in the making and we are ready to play it FRONT TO BACK for the first time ever at our biggest show to date. If you’ve been to one of these before, you already know — the energy is unreal, the sing-alongs are loud, and the crowd shows up. This year’s lineup features incredible pop-punk, pop-rock, and alternative artists from across the Midwest, making it the perfect night to celebrate live music together and the last three years of the making of "The Cards We're Dealt". Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re discovering the band for the first time, this is the show to be at.
