Dave Matthews Band Tour

Dave Matthews, Elton John & Billy Joel to Perform at Wrigley Field

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that The Dave Matthews Band, Billy Joel and Elton John will be performing at Wrigley Field in Chicago this summer despite concerns from some of the residents of the neighborhood of Lake View that have been expressed in prior years.

Reportedly, Alderman Tom Tunney is planning to introduce at one of the City Council meetings an exception for the ordinance covering Chicago Cubs night games, which would allow for the concerts to take place.

According to the report in the Sun-Times, the Cubs last summer held three concerts at Wrigley field in one week, which was unprecedented. One was a Rascal Flatts concert and two from Billy Joel and Elton John. Tunney at the time promised neighbors that were concerned that if there were problems that wouldn’t be any more concerts.

Tunney this week reportedly stated that the experiment with the three concerts was very successful and that it was worth repeating them.

Reportedly, Joel and John are scheduled tentatively to perform on July 7 at Wrigley field. It is expected that the Dave Matthews Band will be headlining September night concerts on a Friday and Saturday night. No dates have been finalized yet.
