Herculaneum Tickets

Herculaneum is a Chicago-based prog-jazz ensemble founded in the early 2000s by drummer/composer Dylan Ryan. Known for percussion-forward textures and expansive horn arrangements, the group fuses chamber-jazz sensibilities with the energy of a dynamic ensemble. Over the years, Herculaneum evolved from a quintet into a larger horn-centered outfit, featuring rotating frontline musicians and a rotating cast that has included John Beard and Nate Lepine on various releases.

With a catalog that highlights exploratory compositions and live improvisation, Herculaneum has collaborated with notable acts and delivered performances that earned attention from jazz press and fans alike. While 2025 tour dates aren’t publicly published, the band’s prior activity includes a notable Uchū-era tour and appearances at events like NYC Winter Jazz Fest.
