June concert calendar
Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and a slew of street festivals kick off summer concert season
In Chicago, there's no greater blessing than the arrival of warm weather and the commencement of summer concert season. No matter what type of live music you prefer—whether it's festivals, gigs at Chicago music venues or free shows in Millennium Park—the summer months are packed with options. Heck, the only thing more seasonable than a meal at an outdoor restaurant is a picnic on the lawn at Ravinia. Before your calendar gets too full, take a look at our summer concert calendar and start plotting out all of the acts you want to see before October arrives and the parties head indoors again.
