Chicago has confirmed their first dates for 2026, continuing a remarkable tradition. The band has toured every year since its inception in the late ’60s.
Keyboardist Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, and trombonist James Pankow have been with the group since the beginning. They will be joined next year by a lineup that includes Wally Reyes Jr. on drums, Tony Obrohta on guitar, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute, and Neil Donell on vocals, among others.
The band will kick off 2026 with a limited nine-show engagement in February at the Venetian Theatre inside the Venetian Resort Las Vegas. This marks Chicago’s ninth year at the Venetian, making it the longest-running residency in the venue’s history. See the complete list of dates below.
