Stevie Wonder Adds Final Chicago Date to ‘Sing Your Song!’ Tour

Legendary artist Stevie Wonder has announced another date for his Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart tour, with a final stop in Chicago on Saturday, November 2, at the United Center. The 25-time GRAMMY Award winner, whose accolades include an Academy Award and a Presidential Medal of Freedom, will now deliver 11 powerful performances across the U.S. in October and November 2024.

This eleventh show comes during a pivotal election season, with Wonder using his platform to inspire “joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, and peace over war.” As a gesture of appreciation, he will offer complimentary tickets to community members already contributing to healing the nation’s “broken heart.”

The tour, produced by Wonder Productions and promoted by AEG Presents in partnership with Free Lunch, kicks off on October 8 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. Other stops include New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Greensboro, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis before concluding in Chicago.

Fans can also listen to Wonder’s latest single, “Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart,” which echoes the themes of his upcoming performances.

Tickets for the Chicago show will be available starting next week.

Concerts in Chicago in July 2022

Music venues reopen and summer festivals return to Chicago in July, including Wicker Park Fest and Lollapalooza.

While live music has gradually returned to some small music venues over the past few months, July 2021 officially marks a transition to relative normalcy as many Chicago music venues welcome back audiences and festivals like Lollapalooza return at full capacity. You'll find lots of notable local acts performing this month, including jazz drummer Makaya McCraven at Thalia Hall and post-punk trio playing a three-night stand at Empty Bottle. While Pitchfork Music Festival has moved to September, Wicker Park Fest is keeping its usual slot, with marquee sets from rapper Ric Wilson and rockers Archers of Loaf. And at the end of the month, acts like Modest Mouse, Brittany Howard and Post Animal headline Lolla aftershows at clubs throughout the city while Foo Fighters, Post Malone and Miley Cyrus top the bill at the Grant Park festival. Here's a look at some of the best bets on the calendar of July concerts in Chicago.
