Legendary Rock Band Chicago Bringing 59th Touring Season to Long Island for November Westbury Music Fair Concert

WESTBURY, NY – Legendary rock band Chicago is coming to Long Island this fall, with a performance scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair in Westbury.

The concert brings one of America’s longest-running rock bands back to the stage during Chicago’s 59th consecutive year of touring. Formed in 1967, the group became known for combining rock with a prominent horn section, producing a catalog that includes “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Beginnings,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” “If You Leave Me Now,” “Hard to Say I’m Sorry,” “Will You Still Love Me?” and “You’re the Inspiration.”

Chicago has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, according to the band’s official biography, and its career has included five consecutive No. 1 albums, numerous Gold and Platinum releases, and decades of chart success. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and received a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020.

Doors at the venue generally open about one hour before scheduled showtime. Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair advises guests to expect security screening before entering, and event-specific bag, ticketing, parking, and entry policies should be reviewed before arrival.

The band’s sound developed from the late-1960s fusion of rock, jazz and brass arrangements heard on early recordings before expanding into some of the best-known pop and rock ballads of the 1970s and 1980s. That combination has allowed Chicago’s catalog to span several generations of listeners while remaining a fixture of classic rock radio.

The 2026 touring lineup includes founding member Lee Loughnane along with longtime and newer members of the group. Chicago also announced singer Rudy Cardenas as its new lead vocalist in June 2026. Founding members Robert Lamm and James Pankow remain members of Chicago but are currently unable to tour because of health issues, according to the band’s official website.

The Westbury appearance is part of Chicago’s extensive 2026 touring schedule and is listed by both the band and the venue for November 13.

The concert will take place at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair, 960 Brush Hollow Road in Westbury. Ticketmaster notes that the stage will offer a 360-degree view and may rotate depending on the performance. Everyone attending the show, regardless of age, is required to have a ticket.
