Chicago Brings Hits to Pittsburgh at UPMC Events Center at RMU (Wed., 11/5/25)

Classic-rock mainstay Chicago has remained vibrant and popular throughout the decades despite lead singer Peter Cetera leaving the band for a solo career in 1985, personnel changes, and a lack of latter-day chart successes. Why has Chicago remained so popular? The answer is in the music. Every musician is highly accomplished, and the band’s big wall of sound brings it all together. Best known for its brassy horn section—which gives extra depth to hits like “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Just You ‘n’ Me” “Beginnings,” and “If You Leave Me Now“—Chicago had a longer name at its start in 1967. The rockers called themselves Chicago Transit Authority but were forced to change it—by the Chicago Transit Authority. The group latest studio album is Born for This Moment (a.k.a. Chicago XXXVIII), their 38th album, released in 2022. There are three original members still in Chicago: Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, and James Pankow. 8 p.m. UPMC Events Center-RMU, 6001 University Blvd., Moon Township. (R.H.)
