Wilco Summer '07 Chicago Show


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has already been posted (I couldn't find it anywhere), but according to Jim DeRogatis at the Sun-Times, Wilco is expected to announce a summer show at none other than the Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park. :dancing

 

That could be amazing.

For those of you can't access the article, it's all about Lollapalooza (and the Chicago summer concerts), and Wilco is only mentioned in the very last line.

A gig at Millenium park would be nice and free.

It wouldn't be free. At least, I doubt it would be. I saw Tori Amos there a few years ago and you had to buy tickets (pavilion or lawn).

Yea, you could be right. Too bad since the park is more or less public. I guess I was thinking about the famous 4th of July concert from a few years back and the fact that everything else I have ever seen there was free.

Radiohead made an unsuccessful bid to play Millenium Park last year. They were shot down due to the "noise" pollution the local residents feared and the fact that the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra had a rehearsal that night. The real reason was they probably didn't pay enough payola to Chicago City Hall. :jerkit

I think it's going to be free because The Decemberists are playing a free show with the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra in June. So why not Wilco having a free concert?

Maybe they got their info from my suggestion last month:

if i recall, Wilco wanted to be one of the first rock bands to play Millennium Park when it opened a couple years back but that never happened.
