RISE AGAINST IN CONCERT: DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SEE RISE AGAINST ON TOUR IN 2017
Chicago rockers Rise Against combine passionate political messages with no-holds-barred rock aggression. At their live shows the band performs hard-hitting anthems like "Savior" and "Re-Education (Through Labor)” against a backdrop of swirling lights and bold visuals that perfectly complement their frenetic onstage energy. Front man Tim McIlrath cuts a commanding figure on stage, holding the crowd in the palm of his hand as he leads the band through salvos about everything from politics and the environment to animal rights and vegetarianism. Prepare to witness plenty of fans head banging and rocking out as the band tears through marathon sets of their forceful yet catchy-as-heck songs on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
After 16 years and six incendiary albums, Rise Against has become one of the most successful, challenging, and revered punk rock bands on the planet. Rise Against have sold four million albums globally across their last four releases, with 2011's Endgame debuting at No. 1 in Germany and Canada and No. 2 in the U.S. Their sixth album The Black Market was released in September 2014 via Interscope Records and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

2nd year in a row that I've seen at this venue and was great show again
The bands were great but we couldn’t hear any of the vocals paid to basically hear the instrumentals to my favorite songs considering we were in the first 2 rows of people and still couldn’t hear anything…
The show was amazing. The bands were incredible. The only complaint I have was that the lights were a serious issue. The lights were facing the audience and for 2 solid bands all I was able to see was shadow figures on a stage that had an intense constant strobe light. For the majority of the headlining act I couldn't even look at the stage.
I loved the outside air and concert experience. It wasn't hot or stuffy at all. Could have used a few more food trucks tho.
Was very well enjoyed by one and all, the Experience for the Korean family here on holidays and speak no English was one of great joy really loved the outdoor experience, I was very happy to have a chance to bring them to the outdoor block party.
Just want to say thanks to the boys in Rise Against for boosting up an otherwise awful week. You make me smile. You make me cry. You make me think. So many of your songs give me strength and hope that there are others out there who, like me, want this world to be better. I've been listening to your music for 20 years and I love that you've reached a whole new generation.
Senses Fail didn’t even play a full set list even with an awning. Wasn’t as well planned out and it could have been a better show for the price tag I paid. Not satisfied
Was my first time at this venue. I had a really good time. The amphitheater was covered and felt very intimate. There was a lot of space between rows but you were able to feel close to the action and others without being uncomfortable. Rise Against was amazing and brought a lot of really amazing energy with them!
It was a good event, not great. Sound volumes were awfully low for an outdoor theater. Im used to louder shows. Always adds to the excitement and gets the crowd more involved... The bands all sounded pretty good and played a variety of songs, but I feel were a bit wore out being the last stop. But they pushed through and put on an entertaining event.
