Otto's Main Stage

Otto’s main stage provides an experience that is completely unique. Our finely-tuned sound system coupled with vintage architecture makes Otto’s main room the most intimate, and personal, live-entertainment venue in the Northern, IL area. It’s little wonder why Otto’s has been a favorite tour stop to such national acts as:

• Wilco
• Snoop Dogg
• Violent Femmes
• Dinosaur Jr
• Murder By Death
• They Might Be Giants
• Cursive
• Minus The Bear
• Rusted Root
• Tim Reynolds
• George Clinton & P-Funk
• The Kinks
• The Allman Brothers
• North Mississippi Allstars
• Clutch
• Against Me!
• Local H.

Many well-known local acts also call Otto’s home: American English, The Pimps, Junk in the Trunk, Company Of Thieves, Mr. Blotto, and American Taxi all make regular appearances.

Otto’s main room also hosts the hottest private dance parties, Frat/Sorority events, fund-raisers and benefits, birthday parties, pub crawls, and more!
