Chicago knows how to strike a chord. We’re a city that overflows with rhythm and warmth, from our neighborhood clubs to our iconic festivals and historic theatres.
We’re home to genre-defining artists, from blues legends to hip-hop stars. And we’re the birthplace of house music, Chicago-style jazz, and our own undefinable big-city sound that can only be heard here. Come experience music in the key of Chicago.
