Starting at 5:00AM on Tuesday, April 26th, tickets for Ravinia Festival go on sale. The "oldest outdoor music festival in the United States" will host nearly 40 concerts at the concert space located in Highland Park, IL. The not-for-profit festival's line-up covers a wide-ranging amount of genres and runs early June through mid-September. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra calls Ravnia home during the summer months.
The line-up has extensive roster of legendary acts including Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Chick Corea, Jeff Beck, Tony Bennet, Frankie Valli and Chicago's own Buddy Guy. Additional acts include a rare performance from Ms. Lauryn Hill, rock bands O.A.R., Guster and The Fray alongside solo performances from former frontmen Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave), John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revial) and Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music). Powerhouse vocalists Patti Labelle, Bonnie Rait and Mavis Staples will also perform. With acts like Prince and David Bowie passing away at such a young age, some of these legendary talents dare not be missed.
Tickets can be purchased at Ravinia.org.
