OZZY OSBOURNE, KISS, KORN, ROB ZOMBIE, SLAYER, GODSMACK and STONE SOUR are among the headliners at the second annual CHICAGO OPEN AIR on FRIDAY, JULY 14th through SUNDAY, JULY 16th at TOYOTA PARK in BRIDGEVIEW, IL, just outside CHICAGO.
The three-day music, craft beer and GOURMET MAN FOOD festival will feature over 40 performances, also including MEGADETH, LAMB OF GOD, SEETHER, MESHUGGAH, ANTHRAX, CLUTCH and BODY COUNT, among others.
Tickets go on sale FRIDAY, JANUARY 20th at NOON (CT) at www.ChicagoOpenAir.com.
Commented STONE SOUR's COREY TAYLOR: "We are beyond stoked to be a part of CHICAGO OPEN AIR this year. If you've never seen STONE SOUR before, you're in for a goddamn treat. If you have seen STONE SOUR before, forget what you're expecting. It's a whole new ballgame. See you all soon!"
Added MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE: “This year’s CHICAGO OPEN AIR festival is going to kick so much ass! If I wasn’t playing, I would want to go just to be part of the party!!
Promoter DANNY WIMMER notes: "Walking through the site last year, I saw people from all over the world. Different ages, different races – people celebrating rock culture. When curating the 2017 version of CHICAGO OPEN AIR, we wanted to find that balance for everyone who attends the festival. From iconic artists like OZZY, KISS, KORN and SLAYER to ROB ZOMBIE, GODSMACK and STONE SOUR to AMON AMARTH, MESHUGGAH and BEHEMOTH. If you are a rock fan, this is a must-see experience.”
LIVE NATION Midwest Pres. JASON WRIGHT was also enthused. "Rock is clearly alive and well in CHICAGOLAND, and year two of CHICAGO OPEN AIR promises to build on where we left off in creating one of AMERICA’s best destination hard rock festivals."
