Great set list. Simon once again had a great stage presence. Dom did great on guitar and JT is legendary. They put on such a great show and have so much energy. Highly recommend seeing them if you have a chance.
Best show I’ve ever seen. The light and projection show was great and the band was having so much fun and seems so grateful to the crowd. A real Charles Bradley vibe of gratitude… hugged the crowd and everything.
Such a great show! Beck is so multitalented and obviously didn’t have problem playing the hits that everyone loves mixed in with a few of his slower songs from Sea Change. He is absolutely electric on stage, I preferred his performance to Phoenix but the 2 are complementary. Sir Chloe wasn’t worth the time in my opinion but they may evolve with age. Beck rocked and I hope to see him again!!
Taking back Sunday is amazing!! After a failed attempt to see them several years ago in Minneapolis at first avenue (I was dumb and didn’t do the digital download ticket thing, only paper tickets) well I lost them. Spent the whole day/night in the hotel bawling my eyes out. I’ve loved them since I was 12 years old, words can’t even describe my love for them and the music they put out. Anyhoo- fast forward a few years later and omg they killed it at sad summer fest Chicago, Adams energy is flipping amazing, the whole band just gave me chills the entire performance. Definitely have to see them again
O.A.R. was the first act and they were fabulous. Seeing them live made me realize how many songs I knew.
The Goo Goo Dolls did their typical awesome play with speed, song to song, and made it through the sweaty night.
From where I sat, (Section 101) the crowd was engaged and there was a lot of sing along.
I absolutely LOVED the venue! Wide open and had a nice breeze coming off of the lake instead of being enclosed, hot, and sweaty in the pit. Ghost was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and so was Amon Amarth! I'll definitely be going back to this venue at some point and I'll be going for more Ghost concerts as well. Even after all of the concerts I've been to, I have to say that this was my absolute TOP favorite concert!!
I'm relatively new to Ghost, having only just started listening to their music a month ago, but I got so hooked that I had to come out to Chicago and check them out live. Man, I am so glad that I did! This was by far one of the best shows I have ever been to. Tobias and the band had incredible stage presence, strong theatrics, and just an incredible performance overall. Ghost is 100% now on my must-see list anytime they're in town. Their opener, Amon Amarth, is a bit heavier than what I typically am used to but their performance was also excellent and I'll definitely be listening more to them.
The venue itself is very hit and miss. Northerly Island is a bit of a pain to get to for anyone who doesn't live in Chicago proper, so be sure to give yourself a LOT of extra time to deal with the commute. Public transit is not impossible, but very lengthy and exhausting. If you choose to drive in, be ready for parking in the $40 range and still need to walk a good distance to the venue. The Huntington Bank Pavilion is a nice outdoor venue with a great view of the stage and city...if you pay up for premium seats. Anyone in the side sections will have limited visibility, plus all seating at ground level is flat (so good luck if you're short). The seats are just folding chairs zip tied together, so if you do need to sit at any point be ready to get very comfortable with your neighbors. Overall it is a nice venue, but could do with some upgrades to seating and crowd control.
The ghost “ritual” was one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. The band was amazing, the facility was great and I brought my 3 kids with me. Everyone was so kind, fun and it was a great atmosphere!!
Garbage never disappoints. Shirley gives emotion, sincerity, and energy to every song; she truly is a goddess. Shirley looked and sounded amazing. The air quality was dangerous in Chicago, but they played anyway...I was grateful. I will always see Garbage.
Absolutely amazing. So much fun! Not a bad seat in the house. Can’t wait to see him again next time. The venue is just beautiful. Can’t wait to see another show here soon. My first Billy strings, will not be my last. Thanks for the Father’s Day show good sir!!!
Northerly Island was very good with communication and keeping everyone up to date with what is going on with the show.
Paul Oakenfold was fun, he promised and 80's/90's set and that is what it was! He knew his audience.
Pet Shop Boys I have seen many time over the years, one of my all time favorites. This was one of the best PSB shows I have seen in years. Neil's voice was effortless and the setlist was near perfection and the visuals were amazing! I hope they bring the Dreamland Tour to the US next year!?
New Order I have seen a few times before. They can be a little low key. Even though Bernard had a cold and his voice was a little off, this was the most I have ever seen him interact with the crowd, he may not have felt good be he was giving it his all and having a good time!
Such an incredible tour, so sad it is only 13 dates! It was worth the 2 year covid wait.
The show was amazing! The venue was horrible! We were so crammed in. There was no room to move side to side, and the rows of chairs were so close to one another that I kept hitting the guy in front of me. This
FTM always puts on a great show but man do chicago audiences know how to ruin a great show. I had 2 women behind me talking the whole time. I am not Paying to hear some random person yapping. Be considerate of others!!
She has a stage b and gets closer to the audience. Very kind of her. True professional entertainer Alicia Keys is. I just couldn’t find the shirt vendors. I would of love to have a hoodie. Worth going to see her show and band. Near the end she addressed the audience for being patient after canceling twice. We understand Alicia. Peace everyone from Chicago.
Awesome performers that made it very known that they wanted everyone to be safe during the show. The crowd was so full of energy but any time anyone fell down or dropped something the way was cleared and phone flashlights were out to help. Lost my phone keys and glasses in a pit and ended up getting all 3 back!
It was incredible to say the least!! You just HAD to be there. Even though it was 2 hours long, not once do you feel tired from jumping, standing, swaying, dancing, screaming or singing. BTR was out to KILL when they announced this tour because they matched the audience's energy, and let's just say it was W I L D.
One of the best shows I’ve seen live, the people and himself and his band is a show. Love him live. I’m 29, been listening to him since I was 17. Great performance all around his band and himself are a delight to watch perform especially with great people.
Great music, great weather, no mask hassle, your choice, Josh is The Man and can SING! Band is awesome. Love the new songs. Can hear Howling Wolf influence in one. Never ending drum solo was amazing. Wish Sam had more front time, but he’s still awesome and barefoot. Warm-up bands were just right too.. different and played for an appropriate amount of time. Not too much or too little. Not all sections are elevated so be aware. 5% masked people. Never felt so good physically and spiritually after a concert. Wide awake.
I WILL ALWAYS GIVE ANTHONY HAMILTON AND THE HAMILTONES 5 STARS WHEREVER THEY PERFORM. I HAVE SEEN THEM 10x ALREADY AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE 11Th and 12th and so forth. I NEVER GET ENOUGH OF SEEING HIM LIVE! HIS MUSIC AND VOICE HAS PLAYED SUCH A DIRECT SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN MY LIFE AND RELATIONSHIP! HE IS THE ANTHEM AND DEFINES MY RELATIONSHIP IN ALL ASPECTS OF SPEAKING THROUGH HIS STORIES IN HIS MUSIC! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED HIM TO SING AT MY WEDDING AND FINALLY AFTER 17Yrs. WE'RE DOING IT NEXT YEAR IN AUGUST! NOW I HAVE TO TRY AND FIND A VOICE REPLICA TO SING, WHICH I KNOW I WILL BE SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW AND PROBABLY WON'T SUCCEED, BUT I HAVE TO TRY SINCE I CAN'T GET THE REAL THING....WE LOVE YOU ANTHONY! THIS IS US AT THE CONCERT IN JULY AT THE HUNTINGTON VENUE!
The circumstances behind the very cumbersome way the venue handled the dozen or so of us that were there hours early to get up on the rail, as well as the weather evacuation and subsequent reentry into the event, the show was absolutely phenomenal.
