Wilco, Andrew Bird & The Congregation Play Way Out West
The far western suburbs, that is. On Sunday, July 8, a dream lineup (for me, anyway) of Wilco, Andrew Bird and The Congregation will perform at the Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva, home of the Kane County Cougars, as part of WXRT's 40th anniversary celebration. To top it off, there will be a fireworks display after the show.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 7 at 10am via eTix -- or pick them up at either the ballpark or Vic Theater box office to save the service charge. They'll run you $50 apiece and are general admission, so you can pack a blanket and lay out on the ballfield if you'd rather not sit in the stands.
You've probably heard Wilco and Andrew Bird, but if you're not familiar with the Congregation, you should be. The eight-piece soul act performed at Gapers Block's BBQ Bowl earlier this year, and are picking up steam. Their next gig, according to their website, is May 10 at Reggie's with the People Brothers Band.
