The show will be hosted by Chicago’s own mustached crusader Jeremy Scheuch and a surprise guest to be announced on April 2.

A panel of 25 to 30 judges appointed by CNA will account for 50% of the vote in each category, while a public vote decides the other 50%. The first round of voting begins April 2.
The Chicago Nightlife Awards will be hosted at 9 p.m. Tuesday June 2, at Concord Music Hall, 2047 N. Milwaukee Ave. $10, 21+
