The Revivalists
Hailing from New Orleans, the roots-inspired alternative rock of The Revivalists ("All My Friends") is a perfect pairing with a night under the stars. Catch the band's performance of the just-released album "Pour It Out Into The Night" (along with other soul-vibing faves) as The Forge kicks off its 2023 Summertime Concert Series with this free show. Soulful West suburban-native folk-rock band The Darling Suns kicks off the evening.
7 p.m. Friday, June 16, at The Forge: Lemont Quarries, 227 Heritage Quarries Drive, Lemont. Free, but registration is suggested for this first-come, first-served Q101 Pop Up concert. forgeparks.com.
Leaving us far behind
Three decades after power anthems "Far Behind" and "You" won Candlebox a seat in the '90s alt-rock movement, the band is winding things down with an upcoming album - "The Long Goodbye," due out this August - and a supporting slot on the 3 Doors Down "Away From the Sun Anniversary Tour," heading for the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre (formerly the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre) in Tinley Park.
8 p.m. Saturday, June 17, at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, 19100 Ridgeland Ave., Tinley Park. $26.25-$99.50. concerts.livenation.com.
