Grammy-winning, international trans pop sensation Kim Petras will bring her larger-than-life live show to Chicago at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom, 1106 W. Lawrence Ave., on Wed., Oct. 18, as part of her Feed The Beast World Tour in support of her debut album of the same name.
Over 15 tracks, Feed The Beast is described in a press release as Petras' "declaration about being willing to be consumed by her biggest passion—pop music."
Heavily inspired by the euphoric Eurodance hits that she would lose herself in growing up, the album features the track "King of Hearts"; the buzzy hit "Alone" (featuring diamond-selling hip-hop icon Nicki Minaj); her #1, Grammy-winning, platinum smash hit "Unholy" (with Sam Smith); and viral fan favorites like the body-positive "Coconuts," "uhoh," "claws" and beat-heavy single "brrr."
