Some bands keep touring because people still want to hear the horns live, and Chicago is one of them. On Thursday, March 18, 2027, the band plays The Cove at River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa.

The show was announced Oct. 28. It starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are sold through River Spirit. The Cove holds 2,700. The listing is on JamBase.

The Tulsa date is part of a 2027 that's coming together fast. Ultimate Classic Rock reported in October that while the band's fall tour runs into November, Chicago is already looking ahead to next year: co-founding trumpeter Lee Loughnane will lead the group on more than 20 newly confirmed shows, starting with a Jan. 29 date at the Saenger Theatre in Pensacola, Fla. RTTNews reported a nine-show Las Vegas engagement on top of that, which marks a record tenth year in a row for the band at that venue.

That kind of staying power is what Chicago is known for. The Finger Lakes Times wrote that the road has called Chicago for 59 straight years. Loughnane, a founding member, has spent more than 50 years playing the horn parts on the band's hits, as he told WECT's "1on1 with Jon Evans". The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally caught up in 2016, the year Chicago was inducted, as Billboard covered.

The road has called Chicago for 59 straight years, and in 2027 it calls at Tulsa.

For Tulsa, that history plays out in a 2,700-capacity room at River Spirit, small enough that you can hear the horn section clearly rather than having it wash out in an arena. A Thursday show also leaves the weekend free.

If you've been meaning to see Chicago, this is a good chance, close to home. Tickets are available through River Spirit now.
