Big Gigantic lights up Salt Shed in Chicago

By Kyle Muha

Big Gigantic made their return to Chicago’s Salt Shed on Saturday night, 11/15/25 — this time bringing a fresh new album with them. Fluorescence, the duo’s 9th studio release that dropped back in June, finally got its moment in Chicago as fans heard songs from the project live for the first time.

Longtime Big Gigantic listeners — especially fans of the early 2010s electro-funk wave — were treated to a classic Big G experience. The new Fluorescence material hit perfectly in the set, blending seamlessly with fan-favorite tracks from eras like Brighter Future and The Night Is Young. The blend of funky grooves, glitchy hip-hop energy, and the unmistakable live-instrument twist reminded everyone what made that era of electro-funk so special.

Dom (Dominic Lalli) delivered signature moments all night with his saxophone lines cutting through the mix at all the right times, adding warmth and character to the set’s bouncier sections. Meanwhile, Jeremy Salken held down the groove on drums, giving the show that extra live punch that separates Big Gigantic’s performances from a typical electronic set.

And it wasn’t just the music that hit: the production was dialed all the way in. Lights and lasers synced perfectly with the flow of the show, elevating the energy in all the right moments and rounding out the full Big Gigantic experience.

Fans still have a couple more chances to catch this run, with upcoming dates in Jacksonville on 11/21 and Washington D.C. on 11/22.
