This Week in Chicago (June 24-30)

Summer is officially here, attracting bands from across the nation to our hot city. Notable groups heading through town this week include the likes of Pacific Air (6/25), Rogue Wave (6/27) and Cayucas (6/28). Logan Square will be one of the weekend’s top destinations as the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival takes over the neighbor hood, hosting performances from Tobacco, Jamaican Queens and a host of local acts. Don’t spend your whole week in front of the AC unit— go out and see some music:
