Poetry slam in Chicago (ZG)

Chicago Musik Bar & Lounge Wednesday, 25 Feb 2026

Poetry slam is live spoken literature in which poets present their own, sometimes humorous, sometimes profound texts - an evening full of variety, surprises and powerful words.

Poetry slam is literature for listening: live, direct and unfiltered. Poets bring their self-written texts to the stage - humorous, touching, political, playful or profound. Every performance is different, every voice unique. The result is an evening full of surprising moments and diverse stories. Two texts per person will be read. The open list format creates a varied mix of new talents and experienced stage voices. It is precisely this diversity that makes the evening so special: you discover fresh artists, meet well-known showbunnies and experience spoken word in all its facets. An evening for everyone who loves language, likes to laugh, be amazed or simply wants to be carried away by powerful words.
