Milwaukee’s Summerfest ended on a high note tonight as the world’s largest music festival was headlined by the Win Butler-led, Arcade Fire. Performing at 21-song set, with tracks like ‘Everything Now’, ‘No Cars Go’, ‘Wake Up’ and more, the Canadian indie rock band was a perfect choice to close out the 2018 festivities.
From making their way to the stage through the crowd, to even taking a photographers camera to snap a photo of his own, Win Butler and company put on a show full of highlights that Wisconsin will not soon forget.
Don’t think just that summer is over that great live music also has to end. As the festivals wrap up and the leaves fall in the Windy City, the concerts move indoors to some of the best venues and arenas in Chicago. And October especially is a great month to catch a concert or two in Chicago, with stars and legends like Katy Perry and Janet Jackson set to visit and artists like Hoodie Allen, Jon Bellion and the A$AP Mob scheduled to tear up the stage with headlining shows of their own.
Check out our list of the 9 can’t miss concerts in Chicago this month!
