Two legendary bands will take rock fans to “Boogie Wonderland” next summer.
On Monday, music icons Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire announced that they are teaming up to bring back their co-headlining Heart & Soul Tour in 2024.
The rock band and the funk group will go on tour together next summer. Their 30-date tour kicks off on July 10 in St. Louis and travels throughout the Midwest, East and West Coasts, with stops in major cities such as Toronto, Nashville, Houston, Phoenix and Los Angeles. After performing at the Kia Forum in LA, their tour will conclude on September 7th in Palm Desert, CA.

The “Saturday in the Park” rockers and “Let’s Grove” hitmakers previously joined on tour in the summer of 2015 during the first iteration of the Heart & Soul Tour. The following year, they expanded their live lineup with Heart & Soul 2.0.
Their upcoming concerts will see both Rock and Roll Hall of Famers play an extensive set full of their iconic hits, then team up for an encore together.

Chicago celebrated the news by sharing a teaser for the upcoming tour on Instagram. Soundtracked by favorites that fans are likely to hear live next summer, including “You’re the Inspiration” and “September,” the short features footage of Earth, Wind & Fire getting the crowd and Chicago’s 10-piece lineup fired up.
The joint tour comes after Chicago celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary in 2023 and celebrated the milestone with several headlining concerts. They will kick off 2024 with more solo shows in February, which will continue throughout the spring, until they team up with Earth, Wind & Fire in June.
