Chicago Adds Three November Stops to Its 2026 Windy Cities Tour, Extending a Busy Year After Las Vegas Residency and Summer Dates With Styx
NEW YORK, NY — Chicago is adding three more shows to its 2026 Windy Cities Tour, giving fans new chances to catch the band live well into November.
The freshly announced dates are Nov. 5 at Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Nov. 11 at Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut, and Nov. 14 at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, New York.
A classic rock run that keeps growing
The new concerts extend a year that already included a nine-show residency at The Venetian in Las Vegas before the North American tour launched in the spring.
Some of the summer dates feature Styx as a special guest, but the November additions are headlining performances by Chicago alone.
Why the band still matters after more than 55 years
Formed in 1967, Chicago became known for mixing rock, jazz, pop and soul into a sound built around its horn section. The band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and delivered signature songs including “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “You’re the Inspiration.”
Chicago was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. The group remains one of classic rock’s hardest-working touring acts even as its lineup has changed over time.
What fans can expect from the current lineup
Co-founders Robert Lamm and James Pankow are no longer touring because of health issues, and founding member Walter Parazaider died in June at age 81 after battling Alzheimer’s disease.
The current touring band includes Lee Loughnane, Ray Herrmann, Wally Reyes Jr., Ramon “Ray” Yslas, Nick Lane, Tony Obrohta, Eric Baines, Carlos Murguía, Justin Avery and Rudy Cardenas on lead vocals.
