Chicago's semi-annual Tampa concert happens this weekend

Is it really summertime if Robert Lamm and Chicago haven’t rolled into town?

Tampa Bay had to wait until October last year (and faced a decision to attend either Chicago’s debut performance at Clearwater’s The Sound, or Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival), but expect to hear the, err, Chicago-based group’s regular schtick of horned-up hits that put it on the map.

Opening is probably the best group possible to play that role—Earth, Wind and Fire—which was also most recently in town last summer, just on a different bill with Lionel Richie, and in the air conditioning.

Tickets to see Chicago play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Friday, Aug. 16 are still available and start at $35.50.
