The Home of the Bears gets an all-star lineup<\/h3>\n

\"soldier<\/a><\/p>\n

Among other awesome, larger-than-life events, such as the MLS All-Star Game<\/a>, a trifecta of musical sensation is hitting Soldier Field<\/a> for a summer of nonstop fun. The three bands taking the stage at Chicago’s favorite venue on the lake are the kind that you only see once in a lifetime.<\/p>\n

\"soldier<\/a>U2 is heading our way for two whole nights June 3 – 4 on their Joshua Tree World Tour<\/a>, which kicks off on May 12 and ends August 1, spanning North America and Europe. The world-famous band which formed in 1976 will also be headlining Bonnaroo this year. Saturday’s concert is sold out, but you can get tickets for Sunday here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last night’s joint Grammy Awards performance with Lady Gaga may have pumped you up for Metallica, who’s appearing at Soldier Field on June 18 for their WorldWired Tour<\/a>. The iconic heavy metal band that’s been making waves since the early 80s earned a Grammy nod for Best Rock Song this year for “Hardwired” from their recent album, Hardwired…to Self-Destruct<\/em>. Tickets to the general public go on sale on February 17<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If this sounds like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, you’re not crazy. Coldplay is circling back to Soldier Field for their Head Full of Dreams Tour<\/a> on August 17 after having played the venue for a two-night visit last July. The world tour began on March 31, 2016 and ends October 8 of this year, totaling 60 dates. The British band was nominated at this year’s Grammy Awards for Best Music Video, for “Up & Up.” Get tickets here<\/a>. To see U2’s complete world tour schedule, check out this comprehensive guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This lineup parallels one of equal scale at Chicago’s other favorite stadium, Wrigley Field<\/a>, which is hosting artists like Jimmy Buffett<\/a> and aforementioned Lady Gaga <\/a>this summer. Between these two venues alone, our summer concert schedule is sure to be jam-packed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
