PHOENIX – It won’t be in a park or on the Fourth of July, but it will be a Saturday when musical stalwarts Chicago stop in Phoenix with Rick Springfield on the bill.
The veteran performers will play their hits June 20 at Ak-Chin Pavilion as part of a 2020 North American tour.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. Presales start Tuesday.
Chicago has been churning out horn-laden, R&B-tinged rock and pop gems for more than 50 years, including classics such as “Saturday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” and “You’re the Inspiration.”
JUST ANNOUNCED: Chicago is bringing their 2020 tour with Rick Springfield to Ak-Chin Pavilion on June 20! Presales start 12/3 at 10am.
