10 Concerts That Are Worth Going To In The Windy City
Jet Setter

There are plenty of concerts that go on in Chicago all summer. Honestly, Chicago is probably one of the most popular cities in the United States (I am a little biased because I live super close to Chicago). Each summer I end up going to a few concerts and some smaller back door venues. It always is interesting to find new venues in Chicago. However, this summer some big festivals and concerts are going to make Chicago even more of a popular concert spot.

1. Beyonce at Soldier Field: May 27th

Who wouldn't be excited for Queen B to be in the windy city? This tour not only will be one of her best yet, but the early summer date makes for a perfect way to begin celebrating being done with classes.

2. Florence and the Machine With Monsters and Men at Tinley Park: June 12

Florence and the Machine has always known how to put on a great show. Tinley Park is definitely a great location for this event.

3. Bob Dylan at Ravinia Pavilion: June 24

Not much more can be said for how awesome this concert will be.

4. Phish at Wrigleyville: June 24

Phish has been around for a while and playing at Wrigleyville is definitely a great location for this kind of band.


5. Guns N' Roses at Soldier Field: July 1

For such an iconic band, Guns N' Roses almost always makes stops in Chicago! This is what is great about living in the region, because some of the best bands ever come to your city!

6. Weezer and Panic At The Disco at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre: July 10

Weezer has just come off a newer album and they are really ready to tour. Especially after playing in Chicago for the taste last year!

7. Adele at the United Center: July 10

Clearly a powerhouse, Adele is ready to rock the windy city. I especially am excited to see how the tour treats her fans!


8. Coldplay at Soldier Field: July 23

With their new album and recent halftime performance, Coldplay has to be ready for this tour as well. Long-standing bands may find it harder to get back on their feet after a bit of a hiatus, but Coldplay did this effortlessly.


9. Drake and Future at United Center: July 26

Drake's new album Views is blowing up right now and this tour will only solidify that fact this summer.

10. Lollapalooza at Grant Park: July 28-31

With Lolla going on it's 25th year in Chicago, it's no surprise they are treating us to four days this summer!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
