Rock n' Roll enthusiasts, mark your calendars, as the iconic band Chicago is set to serenade Columbus with timeless hits this November. According to an announcement by 10tv.com, the legendary group will grace the stage at Mershon Auditorium on November 14, with tickets hitting the market on August 9 at 10 a.m. Known for etching their name in the annals of music history as the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades, Chicago's resilience and adaptability through the times have made them a formidable presence in the rock n' roll domain.
Fresh from their "Heart & Soul Tour" co-headlining with Earth, Wind & Fire, which concludes on September 7, the band can't rest on their laurels as they forge ahead with their 16-date North American tour starting October 22, ABC 6 reports. Fans of the band will find them performing at a variety of venues, including a pair of shows at The Capitol Theatre in New York and Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City before they eventually command the Columbus spotlight, a city that's just one stop on this extensive journey through the North American landscapes of cityscapes and sound waves.
The band's longevity and success are nowhere near a quiet hibernation, with their music and accolades loudly speaking volumes. According to a statement obtained by Pollstar, Chicago is looking to drop a new 26-track concert album, "Chicago At The John F. Kennedy Center The Performing Arts, Washington D.C. (9/16/1971)", set for release on September 27 by Rhino Records. This signifies only the tip of the iceberg, as the band has accumulated more than 5.1 million ticket sales and a whopping $248 million in gross revenue from concerts in 1999.
Prowess on the charts and a trophy case that boasts two Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and various civic honors, including a dedicated Chicago street and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, fortify Chicago's stature as rock royalty.
