New dates are set for this fall throughout the US
Chicago has announced new fall 2024 North American tour dates. The 16 new dates kick off on October 22nd and go on sale to the general public this Friday, August 9th. The touring announcement follows the news of the band’s highly anticipated concert album Chicago At The John. F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, Washington D.C. (9/16/1971) which will be released this fall.
Chicago At The John. F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, Washington D.C. (9/16/1971) will be available from Rhino.com on September 27th in 4 LP, 3 CD, and digital configurations. This 26-track live collection was recorded on September 16, 1971, about a week after the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened in the nation’s capital. For more than 50 years, the concert has remained unreleased except for the performance of “Goodbye,” which debuted in 2018 on Chicago: VI Decades Live.
The Kennedy Center performance includes more than two hours of live music by Robert Lamm on keyboard and vocals, Terry Kath on guitar and vocals, Peter Cetera on vocals and bass, Danny Seraphine on drums, Lee Loughnane on trumpet and vocals, James Pankow on trombone, and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds and vocals.
The show explores all three studio albums that Chicago released since their 1969 debut. The songs span a range of styles, underscoring the band’s ability to blend genres seamlessly. There are rockers (“25 Or 6 To 4” and “I’m A Man”), ballads (“Colour My World” and “Beginnings”), jazz-influenced tracks (“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”), and extended song suites (“Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon” and “It Better End Soon.”)
Chicago is co-headlining the Heart & Soul Tour with Earth, Wind & Fire and will finish the incredible run of shows in Palm Desert, California on September 7th.
