A late-’90s favorite and two contemporary songstresses visit Chicago this weekend to help you warm up.
Korn
Aragon Ballroom, 1106 W. Lawrence Ave.
Oct. 1
Tickets from $39.50
Nu metal saw a meteoric rise in the late ’90s and early 2000s and Korn was definitely one of the genre leaders. Fans should go to this concert to jam out as hard as possible and fail miserably at reproducing the beat box breakdown of “Freak on a Leash.”
Lianne La Havas
Park West, 322 W. Armitage Ave.
Oct. 4
Tickets from $29.50
There’s always those once-in-a-generation voices and British folk soul singer Lianne La Havas is one of those voices, but you don’t have to take it from you can just ask Prince who has collaborated with the young singer-songwriter. Lianne La Havas will blow up soon and this is your chance to say you saw her when.
Ariana Grande
United Center, 1901 W. Madison St.
Oct. 2
Tickets from $39.50
It’s too late to see Ariana Grande before she blew up, but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t check out the tiny diva with a powerful voice. She’s on your radio and television constantly and has some strong pipes, so why not check if she’s the real deal at the monolithic United Center?
