This summer, Bridgeview Illinois and Toyota park will be hosting a new three-day music festival called Chicago Open Air. The event will happen from July 15 to July 17 with craft beer and plenty of great Gourmet Man Food as well. If you don't know what Gourmet Man Food is, you must experience it for yourself http://chicagoopenair.com/gourmet-man-food/. The festival will be hosting some pretty big names in the alternative music genre, which is sure to not disappoint.
Chicago always has great festivals, but I cannot deny my excitement for the debut of Chicago Open Air. It's something fresh and new; I think it will be a huge success. I think the dynamic will be really great with the craft beer and food being served. Anyone from the region cannot deny what this festival will be offering. It's not often that you get so many big names in alternative and rock bands in the same city for three days straight. Being from the region, I have to say that this may be one of the best festivals to hit Chicago this summer.
The line-up will be spread across the three-day event; with a headliner from Rammstein. They will start out the festival on Friday, followed by 14 other bands including Chevelle and Megadeath. The second day of rock-and-roll will start out with Disturbed, along with 14 other bands; including Breaking Benjamin and Nothing More. Sunday will end the festival with Slipknot and 14 other bands including Letlive and Marilyn Manson. The show will have a total of 42 bands rocking out in the Windy City.
The range of bands is something that can attract people of all ages, and that's why I feel this festival will be a success. VIP tickets will be offered for the event ranging from $219.50 for field tickets, $119.50 for GA Bowl, $399.50 for Weekend VIP, Weekend VIP 2-Packs: $860.00 and Single Day GA Bowl for $49.50.
According to a press release from Ashton-Magnuson Media, the festival will open at 11:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday with the exception of it opening at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. It also states that the festival is produced by Danny Wimmer Presents, Live Nation and Toyota Park, with the support of the Village of Bridgeview and Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek.
I think it was time that a new festival made way in Chicago. What better way to kick of summer 2016 than a new way to enjoy music, food and drinks? Chicago never disappoints when it comes to music festivals, and I can say I will definitely be attending Chicago Open Air.
