The concert will be produced by Live Nation and will be Chance’s first performance at the United Center (1901 W. Madison St.) since 2019. Ticket prices have not yet been announced.
New name for Tinley Park
Also in Live Nation news, Credit Union 1 is the new naming sponsor of the venue formerly known as the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre at Tinley Park. Effective immediately, it will now be called the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre.
For those keeping score at home, the outdoor music venue at 19100 Ridgeland Ave. in southwest suburban Tinley Park opened in 1990 as the World Music Theatre. Then it was the New World Music Theatre, the Tweeter Center and First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre.
With a capacity of up to 28,000, this summer it is currently slated to host Janet Jackson: Together Again (May 27); Shania Twain: Queen of Me Tour (July 1); Foreigner Historic Farewell Tour (July 22); Matchbox Twenty (Aug. 6); Nickelback (Aug. 18); ZZ Top & Lynyrd Skynyrd: The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour (Aug. 19); Disturbed: Take Back Your Life Tour (Aug. 30); and Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper: Freaks on Parade (Sept. 1), among others.
