There will be no better playlist to listen to than checking out these three artists and bands this weekend. These concerts will have you singing with your drinks in the air.
Billy Joel
Aug. 26, 8 p.m.
Wrigley Field, 1060 W. Addison St.
The piano man hits the Cubs’ home on Friday making him the first artist to play at Wrigley Field three years in a row. Chicago’s piano clubs do a great job covering Billy Joel’s songs but there is nothing like hearing “Uptown Girl,” “The Longest Time,” “Vienna,” and “New York State of Mind” from the man himself.
Luke Bryan
Aug. 27, Gates open at 5 p.m.
Wrigley Field, 1060 W. Addison St.
Luke Bryan is a country music superstar with over 7 million albums sold across the globe. Bryan represents a new brand of country artist who don’t mind mixing other genres with his country foundation.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Aug. 28, 7:30 p.m.
United Center, 1901 W. Madison St.
You’ll start your weekend with a New York favorite and end it with the best thing to come out of New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are together on tour for the first time in two years in support of “The Ties That Bind: The River Collection” box set. The band has been playing the classic 1980 album in full at their concerts along with their other hits. A Springsteen concert is practically a spiritual experience but it’s also a physical one. Their latest show in New Jersey lasted three hours and 53 minutes so make sure you stretch before heading to the United Center.
