Lee Loughnane, a founding member of Chicago said, “This concert film is a unique approach to any of our previous live performances. 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.”
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Chicago, with over 100 million albums sold worldwide and inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, bring their iconic sound to movie theaters across North America this summer in the rockumentary CHICAGO & FRIENDS IN CONCERT. This 2½ hour cinematic event was recorded last November at Ovation Hall at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ in front of a live audience of 10,000 fans over two nights. The band was joined by special guests Robin Thicke, Chris Daughtry, Steve Vai, VoicePlay, Judith Hill (on behalf of her father Andrew Hill), Robert Randolph and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. Each performance is visualized in vibrant video and animation.

This once in a lifetime event showcases Chicago’s greatest hits and celebrates their 55th Anniversary of their groundbreaking Double Platinum debut album “Chicago Transit Authority” (1969).
