Where Do The Residents of Illinois Go To Enjoy Shows?

When it comes to weather in Illinois, we experience all four seasons. For live music fans in the state, that just means more different ways to experience concerts. There are some great outdoor venues and festivals during the summer months. The Land of Lincoln is also home to many indoor locations including theaters, arenas, clubs, and bars for that colder time of year.
