Vast array of music options in suburbs, city Fourth of July weekend

All holiday weekend, stages will be popping up across the suburbs and Chicago, some featuring favorite local musicians, and some drawing national rock stars rolling through town.

For instance, ubiquitous festival band, Chicago-based 7th heaven, performs five shows between Friday, June 30, and Monday, July 3, at venues from Crystal Lake to Naperville. Name acts hitting the suburbs include Toby Keith (Naperville Ribfest), Hoobastank (Arlington Heights Frontier Days) and Reverend Horton Heat (Lisle Eyes to the Skies).

And the bigger venues in Chicago host concerts by Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson (Soldier Field), Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie (Northerly Island) and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (Wrigley Field).
