About

Chicago, at first dubbed The Chicago Transit Authority, immediately stood out due to their unique, horn-driven instrumentation and top-notch songwriting, a combination that quickly found a home on  free-form FM radio in the late '60s. After 45-plus years in business, Chicago's music has never left the airwaves and the band remains on tour more often than not, playing concerts in every corner of North America. With a catalog of hits  including "Saturday in the Park," "Beginnings," "If You Leave Me Now," "Baby What a Big Surprise," "You're the Inspiration," and "Hard Habit To Break," fans are always eager to snap up tickets to catch one of the most successful American rock bands in history. Four members of the group's current lineup -- vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Robert Lamm and horn section members Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Walter Parazaider -- date back to Chicago's formation in 1967. Even today, the band isn't just about nostalgia; Chicago continues to record new singles and albums regularly.

  • Been going to shows for 50 years…. Still great !

    by Jan Fom Atlanta on 8/10/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Have seen band many time over past 50 years. The shows have always been long and fantastic. The three originals are my age, so have no ideas how they keep at this level of touring.

  • Still great!

    by Sarah on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    What a slow! They played all the bangers and everyone was a sensational musician. The lead singer, Neil Donnel, is incredible and hits alllllll the notes!

  • Show was great

    by YAK YAK on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Musicians were great stage presence great videos great on a scale of ten they were a ten

  • Great show

    by Ebey on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show.. at times music background overplayed the vocals .. better tech involvement for music and vocals .. music and drums should not drown out vocal

  • Chicago getting stronger everyday!!

    by Boss Tony on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    This is the 6th decade I’ve seen Chicago and although only three originals still tour, they were fabulous.. They played a great 28 song two plus hour set. Acoustics were good and the venue excellent as usual.

  • Missing Bobby Lamm

    by Chicago Fan on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Great concert, great venue. Sorry to see Robert Lamm was not on the keyboards and vocals.

  • Thoroughly enjoyable experience!

    by Joe&Flo on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Seeing older boomer-era bands often turns into a nostalgia fest: emotional, sure, but musically mediocre. Not Chicago -- these guys were terrific, delivering note-perfect sound on familiar hits and excellent musicianship on lesser-known numbers. Truly enjoyable. And the Beacon Theater is a great venue.

  • Great Performance!!

    by Sal G on 8/9/25Beacon Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    I always try to see Chicago when they are in the New York area. I first saw them play back in 1971 in Carnegie Hall. They never disappoint. Fantastic musicians and showmen.

  • MIND BLOWING TIGHT

    by CT MUSIC LOVER on 8/8/25Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater - BridgeportRating: 5 out of 5

    WHAT A NIGHT @ THE AMP IN BRIDGEPORT, CT. 2 sets almost? 2 hours . THE SOUND !!! so sweet . sat in the same seats as the night before for TOTO.

  • Nostalgia overload

    by Jacqui on 8/8/25Maine Savings Amphitheater - BangorRating: 5 out of 5

    Performance was awesome. Sound was amazing. They started very early- apparently at 7pm on the dot and no opening act so unfortunately we missed the first couple songs. Very enjoyable.

  • Amazing Band!

    by TJC2025 on 8/8/25BankNH Pavilion - GilfordRating: 5 out of 5

    Performance was incredible, They sounded amazing and would definitely see them again!

  • Not the old CTA, but glad I went

    by Liz Centerfield on 8/7/25Leader Bank Pavilion - BostonRating: 4 out of 5

    From the first notes of "Introduction"I knew Jimmy, Lee & crew were there to do it all, even with only two original members left. Early stuff, '80s... I had my preferences but ultimately they gave everyone in the audience something to love. Eight songs in, they tackled their most ambitious composition: "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon"- played perfectly. Kudos to the sax/flute player and to Lee Loughnane for singing the "Color My World"segment with understated emotion. This a challenging 13-minute piece and by itself worth the price of admission. Twenty-two songs in all, 2.5 hours running. Most of what you remember, some you might not, and enough of the "early"material to keep people like me happy. The bass player has a good voice for Robert Lamm's songs ("Saturday in the Park"etc.) leading to my first quibble: The band websites implied that Lamm would be along on this tour, and although I was smart enough to not quite believe it, was still disappointing. Other quibbles: Ten players is a lot, the mix sometimes seemed off, but you could always hear the all-important horns. The jacket&tie singer's voice was a bit shrill, and the keyboard player also sang in Pete Cetera's range. Together, they sounded like Cetera harmonizing with himself... which he often did, but the pressure to have Cetera-hits spelled the end of the band we loved, in my opinion. Aaand the ballads... they sold a lot of records but in a concert situation it felt like hitting the brakes. Unless it was your wedding song, in which case... lots of nostalgia. Old couples sneaking kisses. So cute. And ~80 year-olds touring like this is INSANE! I played a horn myself in high school; I have some idea of the effort involved. Plusses: 25 or 6 to 4 might have been the end of the show, but they were still going strong. Without Terry Kath to tear up a guitar solo, they instead innovated a drum solo. I am not a drum solo gal, but this one was good - the kit player and a percussionist together - obviously well-planned. "Free"and "I'm a Man"toward the end, and even the finale to "Feeling Stronger Every Day"for the rockers in the crowd. Of course we all wished the remaining healthy members would somehow join Lee and Jimmy for one last tour, but I couldn't have asked for a better band to do justice to the originals.

  • Fantastic Show

    by Lance on 8/7/25Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena - Atlantic CityRating: 5 out of 5

    I've never been a big Chicago fan. I liked a few of their songs and knew many hits from the radio. I've seen many concerts. Some good. Some not so good. I thought I would give Chicago a try. I made a good decision. The show started slow. A few songs I wasn't familiar with. Then they picked up steam. As the concert went and the songs flowed, I was more and more into it. One hit after another. Playing some of my favorites. They sounded just like the original band of over 50 years ago. I couldn't help singing along and sometimes standing and dancing along. Clapping and hooting along the way. They were magnificent! The scenery on the screen was awesome as well. Some nice graphics. Pictures from the bands past performances. Personnel that have moved on. I couldn't wait for the next song. After about two hours it ended too soon. They came back for a few encores finishing with 25 or 6 to 4 which sounded incredible! I am now a huge Chicago fan and would gladly see them again. Don't miss out on this golden opportunity. If you have the chance, spend the time and the money and see the show. You will NOT be disappointed in any way.

  • Wow what a great concert. They did not miss a beat.

    by Nick and Doreen on 8/7/25Leader Bank Pavilion - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Had a blast!!!! Great place for a concert. They out did themselves. Would love to see them next year.

  • Chicago

    by Negdwg on 8/6/25Leader Bank Pavilion - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show!! They played all their great songs. If the venue would stop selling booze during the first hour, the night would have been super. Its annoying to have to keep getting up to let boozers in and out all night!

  • CHICAGO in Gilford NH

    by Mrs Woody on 8/6/25BankNH Pavilion - GilfordRating: 5 out of 5

    THE BEST concert I've seen in 20 years! Sound as fabulous as they did in the 70s!! Go see them!

  • Chicago rocked

    by Lorie on 8/6/25Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater - BridgeportRating: 5 out of 5

    Show was wonderful. They sounded great and it was so nice to hear all the fabulous songs from the past.

  • Chicago never disappoints

    by jmarrapodi on 8/5/25Leader Bank Pavilion - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Chicago in concert pretty much every year for the last 8 years. They are consistently great and deliver the songs we know and love. I'm still astounded that after 57 years, three of the original band members are still traveling with them. This venue (Leader Bank Pavillion) was fabulous. Accessible, and we didn't have to walk what feels like several miles from the parking lot as you do with some places. We had a marvelous time.

  • Fantastic show!

    by Nancy on 8/5/25Leader Bank Pavilion - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Chicago has still as good as ever! There is no other band that can do brass like Chicago. Their songs don't get old. It was great to hear them again. The crowd was on their feet and loving the show. I can't wait until they come back next year!

  • Thank you WBLM!
