Chicago's 60th year on the road comes to Bossier City in March

The horn-driven rock band plays the 1,300-capacity Riverdome at Harrah's Horseshoe on Friday, March 19, 2027.

Sixty years is a long time to do anything. For Chicago, it's how long they've been touring, and 2027 is the year that number comes due. One of those nights lands across the Red River.

Chicago plays the Riverdome at Harrah's Horseshoe in Bossier City on Friday, March 19, 2027, at 8 p.m. The show was announced Oct. 26, and tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster. The room holds 1,300, which for a band with Chicago's catalog is a small house.

The 2027 dates mark the band's 60th consecutive year of touring, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. Co-founding trumpeter Lee Loughnane will lead the group on more than 20 newly confirmed shows, and the run includes a return to the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas. Loughnane being out front matters. In a band that has been around this long, the founding members still on stage are the thread back to the records people grew up on, and the horn section is the sound that made Chicago Chicago.

The new dates follow a busy 2026, which the band extended into the fall after its summer run. Few rock bands of that era keep going at this pace, and fewer still keep going every single year. Sixty in a row is a record of showing up.

For Shreveport-Bossier, that means a spring Friday with a band that tends to play the hits, because the hits are why people come. In a room the size of the Riverdome, the brass will hit you in the chest instead of drifting off into an arena ceiling. That's the real draw here. Plenty of people have seen Chicago somewhere big, in a shed in summer or an arena with screens. Hearing a full horn section at this scale is a different night.

It's also a ticket that rewards planning. A 1,300-capacity room for a band with this many fans across generations doesn't leave a lot of slack, and March is close enough that the good seats will go well before the week of the show.

Sixty in a row is a record of showing up.

So: Friday, March 19, 8 p.m., the Riverdome. Grab tickets early, bring whoever in your family taught you these songs, and plan to sing the horn lines on the drive home. Everybody does.
