Fly Skinz, the South Side rapper out of Roseland, is stepping into a hometown spotlight as he headlines a farewell performance at The Promontory in Hyde Park next Saturday, Dec. 27. The "Fly Skinz & Friends" show is part of a final run of neighborhood-focused nights as the long-running music-and-dining venue prepares to close at the end of the year.
According to Eventbrite, doors open at 6 p.m., with general-admission tickets priced around $49.79 and table or couch reserved sections near $220. Chicago Reader lists the show as a 21+ event.
Promontory's swan song
The Promontory announced on social media that it will "turn off the lights" at the end of the year, with the venue's New Year's Eve party set as its last hurrah. Time Out reports that the venue, part of the 16 on Center family, chose not to renew its lease on the University of Chicago-owned building. NBC Chicago has covered both the announcement and the neighborhood reaction as regulars brace for the loss.
What it means for Hyde Park
Over the years, The Promontory evolved into a Hyde Park fixture, anchoring jazz sets, hip-hop shows, Afrobeats nights, and post-class hangouts for University of Chicago crowds. Its exit leaves a noticeable hole in the neighborhood's cultural calendar.
The Promontory listings and reporting from 5 Magazine outline a final run of concerts and community markets through the holidays before the doors close. Local coverage has tied the shutdown to lease decisions and a planned tenant change for the building's restaurant space in 2026.
Fly Skinz's rise and new record
Fly Skinz has been profiled in local coverage as a Roseland rapper steadily building momentum on the South Side. Apple Music lists his October 2025 album I'm Godly I'm Gutter I'm Genius on Pirate Music Group, and Chicago Reader frames his Promontory appearance as part of the venue's farewell schedule. The Dec. 27 date gives local fans a chance to catch him in a hometown room before the space goes dark.
Tickets for the Dec. 27 performance are available through the venue's box office and ticketing platforms, with availability and prices varying by section.

With the schedule winding down, fans eyeing one of the room's final nights may want to move quickly.
