Last week, a few of us took the night to check out the XRT show at House of Blues with The B-52’s. The new single “Funplex” is getting plenty of attention these days and the band has a catalog of hits that you would be familiar with. After headlining an XRT New Year’s Event a few years back, they return with a new album to perform at the intimate House of Blues in Chicago? Let us know what you thought of the show, or tell us what you think….did you stay or did you go?

We asked on our homepage which of the 3 shows coming this May you are looking forward to the most. Three options that we put out there include some XRT staple bands over the years including The Cure, The Police, and the return of Stone Temple Pilots. Tell us why you might go to one over the other this May and what you think of each….

Santana circled back thru town this past Saturday night and hit the Allstate Arena, and we wanted to know what you thought about the show. Chime in here on some of your favorite or no so memorable moments of the night.

Plus, if you’ve seen any amazing shows lately that are not mentioned here, please chime in, we need to know what you like, what you don’t like, and why!

With major summer festival appearances scheduled for Coachella and Bonnaroo, indie pop quartet Death Cab For Cutie has just announced that they’ve chosen the Chicago skyline as the backdrop for their only summer concert appearance in the city. The band will take the stage June 3rd at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the site of last year’s sold out Wilco concert and arguably one of the most stunning performance venues in Chicago.

WXRT did a live broadcast of one of the shows and offered it at 93.1FM and 93XRT.com. The band sounded amazing and the guest appearance of Andrew Bird took the performance to another level. Chicago embraced the Winter Residency and we look forward to Wilco’s next stop.
