FOMO is a curse set upon us by 21st century tech. The worst sets in when Instagram serves you a video of an enthused crowd embracing a familiar song. \u201cCrap, I missed it,\u201d you may think!<\/p>\n
Miss out, no more. WBEZ has the solution for getting ahead of the beleaguered misfortune of musically missing out.<\/p>\n
For our 100 Days of Concerts guide for 2026, we asked WBEZ\/Chicago Sun-Times\/Vocalo reporters and critics to tell us the concerts you shouldn\u2019t miss this summer in the Chicago area. Our resulting list ranges from familiar names in pop, hip-hop and alternative music to under-the-radar surprises, from jazz legends and classical concerts to free events perfect for picnicking.<\/p>\n
Our guide has filters for you to organize by genre, what\u2019s FREE<\/span>, local Chicago musicians and even picks from our sister music station, <\/svg> <\/span>.
