Smashing Pumpkins at Illinois State Fairgrounds

Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins are back this summer with their North America tour. Billy Corgan's Grammy-awarded rock band created some of the most iconic tracks of the 90s, fashioning an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop. Many line-up changes later, don't miss them live in 2024 as they take to the road!

Badflower at Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

Badflower

Badflower is gearing up for their upcoming "No Place Like Home" tour this fall, accompanied by support from Missio on all dates and Slothrust at select shows. Originating in Los Angeles in 2014, Badflower comprises singer/guitarist Josh Katz, lead guitarist Joey Morrow, bass guitarist Alex Espiritu, and drummer Anthony Sonetti. The masters of alternative rock, grunge, and punk often tackle heavy themes such as mental health, addiction, and societal issues in their music, and now you get to see them live!

Motley Crue at Illinois State Fairgrounds

Motley Crue

Heavy metal hellraisers Motley Crue are back and looking to cause mayhem. Riding the first wave of glam metal, the band formed in 1981 and quickly gained a reputation for their hedonistic lifestyle and rock'n'roll personas - tattoos, prison stints and drugs, these guys have seen and done it all. Get ready for a night of rock and roll with the legends themselves!
