About Chicago - The Band

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, and one of the longest-running and best-selling music groups of all time, with 38 studio albums, over 100 million records sold worldwide, and a catalog that helped define the sound of pop and rock radio for six decades. Originally called the Chicago Transit Authority, the band distinguished itself from the start through its unique fusion of rock, jazz, and R&B built around a signature three-piece brass section: trumpeter Lee Loughnane, trombonist James Pankow, and saxophonist Walter Parazaider, all original members still performing today alongside co-founding keyboardist and vocalist Robert Lamm. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. In 2026, Chicago is among the busiest touring acts in classic rock, following a February Las Vegas residency at the Venetian Theatre, a spring U.S. headline run visiting the South and Southeast, and the Windy Cities Tour, a co-headlining summer and fall arena run with Styx kicking off July 13 in West Palm Beach and visiting markets including Tampa, Charlotte, Toronto, Rosemont, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, concluding October 2 in Idaho Falls.
