About the Event
🎶 Where music was family. Where the dance floor was home. Where joy was revolutionary. 🎶
This year, Missoula Pride’s annual music series turns its spotlight on Chicago — the birthplace of House music and a city where queer and Black communities forever changed the sound (and soul) of dance music.
Last year, we honored the legacy of Detroit Techno. This year, we celebrate Chicago House — because you can’t tell the story of electronic music without telling the story of queer and Black resistance, creativity, and joy.
The Queer History of Chicago House
House music wasn’t born in the mainstream. It was born underground — in late ‘70s and early ‘80s Chicago — in spaces created by and for queer, Black, and brown communities.
