The 3-day Chicago Open Air music festival makes its debut, July 15 through 17.
Hosted by Bridgeview, Illinois and Toyota Park, Chicago Open Air will feature shows by more than 60 rock music artists, an outdoor Gourmet Man Food and craft beer village among other entertainment.
“Chicago has a deep history with rock ‘n’ roll, from the pioneers of Chicago blues, to the icons of modern rock that call this place home, to the incredible live experiences that have happened here,” said Festival producer Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents.
“I’ve been looking at the Chicago market for quite some time. With the rich music history, the incredible craft beer culture and the celebrated Chicago food scene, I couldn’t be more excited to debut the 3-day Chicago Open Air festival this July. We’re excited to work with Mayor Steven Landek, who’s very supportive of developing arts and entertainment in the area, and bringing more large scale events to the stadium.”
Also produced by Live Nation and Toyota Park, with the support of the Village of Bridgeview and Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek, Chicago Open Air said the headline band will be announced on Tuesday, February 9 at 5:00 PM Central Time, with discounted early bird General Admission tickets available for purchase then.
The full list of Chicago Open Air music, craft beer and artist-inspired beverages, as well as the Gourmet Man Food lineup will be revealed Tuesday, February 16 at 5:00 PM Central Time via the festival’s website.
“Chicago Open Air is the next step in fulfilling that promise to our citizens,” Mayor Landek said of the 3-day event. “Danny Wimmer Presents has a proven track record of producing successful events in MLS stadiums that attract attendance from around the world. This is a great opportunity for our city as we continue to benefit from this investment.”
