The best fall arena shows in Chicago

As the air grows crisp and the gutters get clogged with tree debris, summer music festival season comes to an end and the biggest names in music head indoors. And by indoors, we mean “into cavernous arenas.” Over the next few months, thousands of us will cram into branded sports complexes (when the Blackhawks aren't playing) to see today’s pop stars and yesteryear’s rockers gyrate on stage, backed by giant video screens and retina-scorching pyrotechnic displays. Snag floor tickets or squint from the nosebleeds at these must-see arena gigs—regardless, it’s gonna be a blast.
