Chicago
Multi-Grammy Award-winning and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Chicago are bringing their legendary sound to Charleston this summer! The iconic American rock band will perform live at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia on June 20, 2026, delivering an unforgettable evening of timeless hits and world-class musicianship.
Hailed as one of the most important bands in music history, Chicago remains the highest-charting American band in Billboard’s Top 125 Artists of All Time and the first American rock band to achieve Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. With record sales surpassing 100 million and a catalog that includes classics like “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Make Me Smile,” and “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” their concerts are true celebrations of pop, rock, and jazz fused into their signature horn-driven sound.
Fans can also celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chicago IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits, recently reissued as an expanded edition, along with the band’s latest studio album, Born for This Moment, featuring the hit single “If This Is Goodbye.” In recent years, the band has also released a powerful live collection recorded at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the acclaimed documentary The Last Band on Stage.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and recipients of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Chicago continues an extraordinary legacy as they mark their 59th consecutive year of touring in 2026. Original members Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, and James Pankow remain at the heart of the band’s dynamic lineup.
