Tickets are on sale for a Lehigh Valley show by chart-topping band Chicago—a staple of FM radio for decades.

 

The Sands Bethlehem Event Center welcomes pop-rock chart topper and FM radio staple Chicago to the stage on Wednesday, May 22 at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on sale.

According to Billboard chart statistics, Chicago is second only to the Beach Boys as the most successful American rock band of all time, in terms of both albums and singles. Judged by album sales, the band does not rank quite so high, but it is still among the Top Ten best-selling U.S. groups ever.
