As Chicagoans, we endure rough winters with the promise of summer because there’s no better place in the summer than\u00a0Chicago. The lakefront, the parks, the boulevards, the ballparks are all alive in the summertime like no other place in the world. And now that summer is here, it’s…(wait for it…) summer festival season! Which means plenty of great music in every corner of the city.<\/p>\n

Check out what June has to offer:<\/p>\n

U2 @ Soldier Field \u2013 June 3\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"u2\"U2 is touring the country this summer celebrating the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of their 1987 masterpiece\u00a0The Joshua Tree<\/em>. There are two takes on this. The positive one: it gives fans a chance to reconnect with the insanely good material that made U2 a household name. The skeptical one: U2 couldn\u2019t finish their latest album, but still wanted to tour, so they dusted off a 30-year-old album and started selling tickets.\u00a0 U2 always puts on a massive show, so it will be good regardless of whether you are in the positive or skeptical camp.<\/p>\n

\"garyclark650\"By including more current artists, such as Gary Clark Jr. and Rhymefest, and moving over to Millennium Park, this year\u2019s Blues Fest doesn\u2019t seem like your parent\u2019s Blues Fest.

Elvis Costello @ Huntington Bank Pavilion \u2013 June 12 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"elvis\"Elvis Costello is another long-standing Grammy Award-winning act that, like U2, is reaching back into his catalog to see what music from the 1980s sounds like in 2017.\u00a0 He\u2019s traveling with his longtime band, the Imposters, spotlighting his 1982 album Imperial Bedroom<\/em>. Years from now, there will be many long leather-bound books written about why artists from the 1980s think their music is relevant today \u2013 but since we don\u2019t understand it now, just know that the music rocks and the show will be worth it.<\/p>\n
