On July 31, Lollapalooza will kick-off in Grant Park<\/a>. The four-day event features performances by Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Rebecca Black, Doechii, Clairo, and many more. Along with all the fun happening downtown, there are also TONS of official aftershows<\/a> happening at venues across the city including Sierra Ferrell at Metro on July 30 and Chicago\u2019s own Ravyn Lenae at Park West on July 31.<\/p>\n Yeah Yeah Yeahs \u2013 Chicago Theatre July 22 & 23<\/strong><\/p>\n We here at Rebellious Magazine love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and you have two opportunities to see Karen O and company as they are set to perform at the Chicago Theatre on July 22 & 23<\/a>. The venue is a unique one for the band \u2013 who are typically found at rock clubs or amphitheaters \u2013 so this is a must-see unique concert for fans of the New York rockers.<\/p>\n Keyshia Cole \u2013 United Center July 5<\/strong><\/p>\n With her debut album, The Way It Is, Keyshia Cole quickly rose to stardom back in 2005. Now, she is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release with a special show at The United Center on July 5<\/a>. TINK, Jeremih, and Elijah Blake are also on the lineup so if you are a fan of R&B, this one is for you.<\/p>\n Alabama Shakes \u2013 The Salt Shed July 15 & 16<\/strong><\/p>\n Though Brittany Howard has treated Chicago to several incredible performances in the recent past, it has been eight long years since she has toured with her band the Alabama Shakes. That all changes on July 15, when the Grammy-winners take the stage at The Salt Shed<\/a> to kick-off their highly-anticipated tour, which continues with a second Chicago show on July 16.<\/p>\n Kesha \u2013 Credit Union 1 Amphitheater July 12<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a party, Tinley Park is the place to be on July 12 as Kesha is bringing The Tits Out Tour to the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre<\/a>. The show \u2013 which will also feature a set from Scissor Sisters \u2013 is happening just a few days after Kesha\u2019s sixth studio album . (pronounced Period) comes out on July 4, so expect a joyful introduction to some exciting new music.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in July, Sylvan Esso<\/strong> and Bully<\/strong> will be performing at Out of Space in Skokie on July 24<\/a> and Winona Fighter<\/strong> is taking the stage at Subterranean on July 17<\/a>. Babymetal<\/strong> is heading to The Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on July 8<\/a> and The Round Table Game Show<\/strong> will be at Park West on July 17<\/a>.
