Atlanta, get ready to turn back the clock in the best possible way. On July 17, 2026, two of rock and roll's most enduring juggernauts — Styx and Chicago — are bringing their epic co-headlining showcase, The Windy Cities Tour, to the crown jewel of Atlanta's outdoor concert scene: Ameris Bank Amphitheatre. This is not a nostalgia act. This is a full-throttle, fist-pumping celebration of the songs that defined generations — and it's coming straight to our backyard.

Two Legends, One Unstoppable Night

Let's be real — on paper, this pairing shouldn't work this well. And yet, somehow, it's absolutely perfect. Styx built their legacy on muscular rock anthems and theatrical ambition, delivering timeless classics like Come Sail Away, Renegade, and Mr. Roboto with the kind of energy that makes arena crowds lose their minds. Meanwhile, Chicago — one of the best-selling musical acts of all time — brought horns, heart, and undeniable hooks to songs like 25 or 6 to 4, Saturday in the Park, and You're the Inspiration. Together? They're an embarrassment of riches on one stage.

Both bands have deep roots with Atlanta audiences. The ATL has always embraced rock royalty, and both Styx and Chicago have packed Southern venues for decades. When these acts roll through Georgia, it's never just a concert — it's an event.

What to Expect at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre

Ameris Bank Amphitheatre is the perfect setting for a night this big. Nestled in Alpharetta, this world-class outdoor venue offers stunning sightlines, incredible acoustics, and that warm Georgia summer atmosphere that makes every open-air show feel like a memory in the making. A July evening under the stars with two legendary setlists rolling back-to-back? That's Atlanta summer done right.

  • Decades of hits from both bands packed into one spectacular evening
  • World-class musicianship — both acts are renowned for their live performances
  • Outdoor amphitheatre magic at one of the Southeast's premier venues
  • A crowd that knows every word — because Atlanta fans always show up and show out
