Chicago Theatre offers variety of Duos, Comedians, and Bands this April. There’s something for everyone!
Two Cellos: April 2 & 3, 2016
Propelled into international fame in 2011 after their version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” went viral, 2CELLOS (Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser) continue to wow their fans with dynamic music videos and covers of today’s most classic and popular songs (including their Baroque inspired, yet high octane head-banging video of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”). This duo have returned to their rock roots with their new album Celloverse, and they have no limits when it comes to performing (and rock out!).
Wanda Sykes: April 6, 2016
You’re in for a good laugh (or two, or three) with “one of the funniest stand-up comics” – Wanda Sykes! From “The Chris Rock Show” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to “The Wanda Sykes Show” and “Wanda at Large,” it’s no wonder why she has been ranked as one of Entertainment Weekly’s 25 Funniest People in America!
The Avett Brothers: April 21-23, 2016
There’s something powerful in the air, and it’s the Avett Brothers —Seth Avett, Scott Avett, Bob Crawford, and Joe Kwon. They have performed on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman as well as joining legendary Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell for a rapturous Pearl Jam tribute on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. A string of sold out shows followed as the boys continued to dream up their next step. Much like their own music, it promises to continue tradition, while making a decidedly personal statement. If you keep your eyes, mind, and heart open, you’ll undoubtedly feel it.
After visiting the iconic Chicago Theater, another World-Famous destination is just around the corner at Billy Goat Tavern, where you can Butt in Anytime.
No foolin’ here – United Center’s has one fantastic line-up of Grammy Award®-winning Artists this April.
April 1 – EARTH, WIND & FIRE and CHICAGO
Fans across the country will be able to not one, but TWO Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum selling groups live at the United Center! Two of the most successful and critically-acclaimed bands Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago have come together for their Heart and Soul Tour 2.0.
“I’m excited to be starting another leg of the Heart and Soul tour,” said Lee Loughnane of Chicago. “Both bands are playing great and when we play together, the show rises to another level. Come see the concert. You won’t be disappointed.”
April 4 & 8, 2016 – DAVID GILMOUR
English musician, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Gilmour’s first North American tour in ten years is making a stop in Chicago for two nights only! This former Pink Floyd member’s “Live 2016” appearances will be his first live concert dates since the “On An Island” tour in 2006. Get ready to rock to his new solo album “Rattle That Lock!”
April – RIHANNA
Global superstar, Grammy Award®-winner and multi-platinum selling artist, Rihanna, is bringing her THE ANTI WORLD TOUR to Chicago with special guest Travis Scott! Having sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide, there’s no doubt that tickets will go fast for the one-night-only concert.
You know what goes great with Grammy Award®-winning Artists? Some good grub, of course! We’ll see you at Billy Goat Tavern on Madison after the show.
For 52 years, Chicago’s favorite haunt hasn’t been on Michigan Avenue, it’s been under it!
On March 4th, 1964 Billy Goat Sianis moved his tavern to the current subterranean Michigan Avenue location. The original Billy Goat was located on Madison Street, across from the Chicago Stadium. Thanks to the large following of newspaper men who were regulars at the Billy Goat, it was only natural that the new location be situated between the Tribune and Sun-Times buildings.
