Chicago Open Air Festival Set For Surprises at Toyota Park This Summer

Chicago Open Air Festival Set For Surprises at Toyota Park This Summer

Check this Chicago. A new music festival is coming to the area. Just a few miles outside of Chicago at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL, we’ll soon see the newest incarnation of a mash up fest.  This one will be a three day fest that will focus on live music, gourmet food and craft beer.  What else could you ask for!?

It’s being put on by the folks that brought you Rock on The Range and other well established festivals across the US.  Here’s some good news about this one. It’s very reasonably priced (compared to others multi day festivals).  It’s in a good centralized location away from downtown traffic and trendy uptight or dangerous neighborhoods. There’s plenty of parking. It’s all within one area.  No tromping through mud or trekking across multiple park lands.  It’s in June so the weather tends to be nicer.  Not as hot as other summer festivals or wet.  Best of all, its new!  Something we’ve not seen before.  This is the first of it’s kind so if you’re looking for a different festival this summer, you might want to put this on your list.

Here are more details:

Chicago Open Air has announced Rammstein as one of the headlining acts for the 3-day music, craft beer and Gourmet Man Food festival held July 15, 16 and 17 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL, just outside Chicago. This marks Rammstein’s only 2016 U.S. performance and first Chicago show since 2012. Additional festival headliners will be announced on February 16.

Chicago Open Air will feature performances by over 40 bands, an outdoor Gourmet Man Food selection incorporating local and regional cuisine, a craft beer village highlighting top brews from the region, and other entertainment and fan experiences.

Discounted Early Bird General Admission 3-day weekend tickets are available for purchase now at www.ChicagoOpenAir.com. See below for more details.

Rammstein are known for their explosive and creative live performances with spectacular lighting. In the course of two decades, the German rock band have risen to the apex of the great rock pyramid, achieving album and DVD sales in the millions, headlining major festivals and bigger venues around the world (including New York’s Madison Square Garden, a show that sold out its 18,200 tickets in under 30 minutes!), and establishing themselves as peerless master showmen with an approach to their art – and ‘art’ is the word – that is dramatic, epic in scale and capable of touching all of the senses; a dark and spectacular fairy-tale laced with controversy and don’t-try-this-at-home theatrics.

“Rammstein is an act that is headlining major festivals all over the world,” says Chicago Open Air producer Danny Wimmer. “I’ve been trying to get Rammstein here for years and I couldn’t be more ecstatic to launch Chicago Open Air with them. If you’ve never seen Rammstein LIVE before, you are in for a real treat.”

Look for the full list of Chicago Open Air music, craft beer and artist-inspired beverages, as well as the Gourmet Man Food lineup to be revealed Tuesday, February 16 at 5:00 PM Central Time at www.ChicagoOpenAir.com.

A limited quantity of Early Bird discounted 3-Day Weekend General Admission tickets are now available for $199.50 (Field) and $109.50 (Bowl). Once those are sold out, GA 3-Day Weekend tickets will be $219.50 (Field) and $119.50 (Bowl) while supplies last, with prices increasing as allotments sell out.

VIP 3-Day Weekend tickets are available starting at $399.50. A limited number of 3-Day Weekend Zippo VIP Ticket 2-Packs are also available for $860.00. This package includes 2 VIP tickets plus 2 commemorative Zippo lighters.

All VIP tickets include: VIP entrance lanes into the event, access to a VIP lounge area featuring dedicated food and beverage offerings (for additional purchase), field and stadium level viewing areas of the main stage, dedicated restroom facilities, and a commemorativeChicago Open Air VIP-only laminate.

Single day General Admission Bowl tickets go on sale Tuesday, February 16 at 5:00 PM CT and prices start at $49.50 (plus fees).

Ticket prices will increase in the coming weeks, so fans are encouraged to buy early and save.

Chicago Open Air is produced by Danny Wimmer Presents, Live Nation and Toyota Park, with the support of the Village of Bridgeview and Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek.

Festival doors open at 11:00 AM each day and the show ends at 11:30 PM on Friday, 11:00 PM on Saturday, and 10:00 PM on Sunday.

Live Review: @anthrax Bring 40 Years of Metal Thrashing Madness To Chicago. By Christopher David When it comes to sustaining a career, forty years is a long time. And when that career involves constant touring, it becomes one hell of a long time.
