Earth, Wind & Fire, Chicago bring 2024 tour to Phoenix. How to get tickets
Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago will bring their co-headlining Heart & Soul Tour to Footprint Center in Phoenix on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024.
The Live Nation-produced, 30-city tour will feature epic sets from each act, culminating in an encore performance with both bands on stage together.
In making a case for Chicago's 2016 induction on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website, Rob Bowman writes," Chicago stands as one of America’s most successful rock bands of any epoch in terms of both sales and longevity," going on to note, "The statistics are simply staggering."
Fellow Hall of Famers Earth, Wind & Fire, who were enshrined in 2000, took funk to the masses with such consistency and soul that "The Rolling Stone Album Guide" suggests, "It could be argued that 'The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire' portrays the best singles band of the '70s."
