A British Disco-Pop Voice Lights Up Uptown

Jessie Ware spent years as a refined soul singer before leaning fully into disco on What's Your Pleasure and That Feels Good. Her recent work pairs four-on-the-floor grooves with lush strings and a voice that carries to the back of the room. The live show turns the studio polish into a full dance-floor event, with a tight band and plenty of room for her vocals to stretch. This Tuesday she headlines the Aragon Ballroom on the Superbloom Tour. Expect a mix of new songs and disco-era favorites.

The Aragon runs as a general admission floor with a wraparound balcony, and a Jessie Ware crowd tends to use every inch of it. People dress up for these shows, and the main floor turns into a moving dance crowd once the grooves land. Her ballads bring a hush over the room before the tempo climbs again, a rhythm the set returns to all night. Perimeter bars keep drinks close. The balcony offers a seated view for anyone who wants to watch the room fill and sway.

The show runs on Tuesday, October 13 at the Aragon Ballroom, 1106 West Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. Doors open in the early evening and the set starts around eight in the evening on a weeknight. Tickets run through the venue and the dressier crowd arrives early to stake out the floor. The Lawrence Red Line stop is a short walk from the doors, which keeps a Tuesday night simple. This one fits anyone who wants to dance to live disco-pop, while listeners after a quiet, seated recital may prefer another night.
