The 2023 music festival season in Chicago has finally come to a close for the year with last weekend’s Riot Fest in Douglass Park. Since 2005, the festival has been hosting punk, rock, alternative, metal and hip-hop artists in the heart of the city. This year’s lineup was no different, stacked with headliners like the

To say the least, Foo Fighters’ new album “Sonic Highways” is quite the concept. For the band’s 20th anniversary, Dave Grohl and the gang went on a cross-country road trip, stopping at eight major musical meccas — Chicago, Washington D.C., Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Seattle and New York City — where they embraced the
