Taste of Chicago Lineup Announced
05.01.2007 in Concert by James

Taste of Chicago will run from June 29 through July 8 at Grant Park and the surrounding streets. For the extended July 4 weekend, the Taste once again brings in some huge names and a few surprises for the free crowds to enjoy. (Don't expect anything like when the Replacements broke up onstage, though.)

This year's July 4 show will be headlined by the abominable John Mayer, but the opening acts may be worth your time.
Robert Randolph & the Family Band, who're renowned for electrifying performances, and Ireland via Mexico's Rodrigo y Gabriela, who'll play Chicago for the fourth time in nine months, will open the day at 3PM.
Toledo R&B/Soul musician/producer Lyfe Jennings plays July 5.
Friday's show features the Black Crowes.
And Saturday's lineup is a big Midwestern rock'n'roll revue with Cheap Trick, Soul Asylum, and Cracker.
The weekend ends with a headlining set by Los Lonely Boys.>
