March 20 — Mercury Studios, Fantracks, and Iconic Events Releasing have partnered to bring audiences a special concert event from Chicago.
The companies will present the band’s new event, Chicago & Friends in theaters nationwide and in Canada on two separate dates next month. The U.S. theatrical screening is scheduled for April 18 while the Canadian screening is scheduled for April 21. Originally captured in November 2023 at Ovation Hall in the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ, the 2 1/2-hour concert features performances from the likes of Steve Vai, Robin Thicke, and Chris Daughtry alongside Chicago.
The concert was a celebration of the 55th anniversary of the release of the band’s first-ever record, 1969’s Chicago Transit Authority.
Chicago founding member Lee Loughnane talked about the concert briefly in a prepared statement.
“This concert film is a unique approach to any of our previous live performances,” the Loughnane said. ““We very rarely play with guest artists, much less seven of them. It was very interesting to work with each guest and experience their interpretations of our music.”
Audiences can view a full list of theaters participating in the special event here.
