Starting in 1967, well before all the hits started flowing, Chicago established a reputation for its powerful live show. Fueled by a passion for music, Chicago's members exploded the conventions of what rock music could or should be. The result was a groundbreaking new form that produced countless chart-topping classics such as 25 or 6 to 4, Saturday In The Park, Just You ‘N’ Me, Old Days, Hard Habit To Break, Hard to Say I’m Sorry, Look Away, If You Leave Me Now and many more.

Once the group began making records, fans rewarded them with record sales of 100 million, 21 Top 10 singles, five consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One Singles and five Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 33 albums have been certified platinum. Chicago is the first American band to chart Top 40 albums in five decades – a landmark accomplishment.

The line-up on tour will include original band members Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone, Walt Parazaider on woodwinds, as well as Jason Scheff on bass and vocals, Tris Imboden on drums, Keith Howland on guitar, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals and Daniel Reyes on percussion.

Lifetime achievements include a Grammy Award, multiple American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of US cities.
