MUBI FEST LIVE: Current Joys With Delroy Edwards
Current Joys headlines MUBI FEST LIVE at The Salt Shed in Chicago on Saturday, July 11, with Delroy Edwards joining the bill. Doors open into showtime at 7:30 PM CT, and the outdoor setting means the weather is very much part of the night.
What the Weather Looks Like
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday is shaping up mostly sunny with a high near 82°F. Winds stay light out of the north at 5 to 10 mph, and the chance of precipitation is just 13% — so rain shouldn’t be a real factor.
By the 7:30 PM set time, that afternoon heat should be easing off, but daytime highs in the low 80s mean you’ll still want to dress light. Think breathable fabrics, and don’t sleep on sun protection if you’re arriving while the sun’s still out. A layer of SPF 50 sport sunscreen goes a long way if you’re planning to grab a spot early and soak up the pre-show hours outside.
Gear for the Show
With a full day of Chicago sun leading into the night, staying hydrated matters. A hydration backpack keeps water on hand without you having to leave your spot in the crowd or make a beer-line run. Pair it with comfortable walking sandals — you’ll be on your feet moving between sets, and The Salt Shed’s outdoor grounds mean solid, breathable footwear beats anything stiff.
A bandana face cover is a nice multi-use add for an outdoor festival crowd — dust, sun on the neck, or just wiping down after dancing to Delroy Edwards’ set.
Practical Tips
Check The Salt Shed’s bag policy before you go — outdoor venues like this typically restrict bag size, so a clear stadium bag is the safer bet if you’re bringing anything beyond your pockets. Plan to arrive with enough buffer before 7:30 PM to deal with entry lines and security checks, especially with a festival-style bill running two acts.
Since you’ll likely have your phone out for the whole night — texting your group, capturing Current Joys’ set, checking rideshare — a portable phone charger 20000mAh is worth tossing in your bag so you’re not stuck at 10% before the night’s even over.
The Bottom Line
Mostly sunny, light wind, near 82°F, and only a 13% shot of rain — this is about as clean a forecast as Chicago gets for an outdoor July show. Pack water, sun protection, and comfortable shoes, and you’re set to catch Current Joys and Delroy Edwards without the weather getting in the way.
