Former steel factory on Cermak Road with a 3,800-capacity venue, d&b KSL sound, AXS tickets and dance headliners such as Carl Cox and Ben Klock.

Radius is a 55,000 square foot multi-room venue at 640 W Cermak Road, on the edge of Pilsen next to Chinatown, in a former steel factory. It opened on 29 February 2020 with Dillon Francis. Pollstar describes a 3,800-capacity venue where a partition limits the main room to 2,500, next to Cermak Hall, a 10,000 square foot room that holds 1,350. The main room runs a d&b audiotechnik KSL sound system. Pollstar (2020) names owner Nick Karounos, who also owns Prysm and Concord Music Hall.

The dance programme, largely presented by Auris Presents according to Techno Airlines, covers house, techno, melodic techno and bass. The venue lists Kaskade on Friday 6 November 2026, Carl Cox on Saturday 7 November, Madeon on 21 November and Ben Klock: Photon on Friday 27 November, with doors at 21:00 or 22:00. Techno Airlines says events usually end between 02:00 and 03:30, earlier than the 04:00 and 05:00 clubs. Age limits are set per event, and most dance nights are 18+ according to the same source. Tickets are sold through AXS. Not for you if you want a late closing time or a small room.
