Ravinia is the longest running and most programmatically diverse outdoor music festival in North America, welcoming about 400,000 guests to over 100 events each year. Passenger trains stop at our historic entrance during the summer, serviced by Metra’s Union Pacific North Line—a tie to our origin from a railroad company. Ravinia is the only private train stop in Illinois!

Schedule of Events

8pm: Heart - Pavilion

Five decades after the release of 1975’s Dreamboat Annie, “rock’s biggest sister act” (Washington Post) returns to the road, performing “An Evening with Heart.” Last seen at Ravinia in 2014, legendary rockers Ann and Nancy Wilson bring an electrifying evening of iconic hits like “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Alone,” and “Crazy on You.”

With decades of chart-topping hits, the band’s fierce vocal power and musical prowess continues to captivate audiences. Named one of VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, Heart’s five-decade legacy has influenced generations of rockers, selling over 35 million records worldwide. Their signature blend of hard rock and folk-infused ballads has cemented them as one of the most enduring acts in music history.

In addition to Ann (lead vocals and flute) and Nancy (rhythm, lead and acoustic guitar and vocals) Wilson, Heart also includes Ryan Wariner (lead and rhythm guitar), Ryan Waters (guitars), Paul Moak (guitars, keyboards and backing vocals) Tony Lucido (bass and backing vocals) and Sean T. Lane (drums and bike).

Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, Ann and Nancy Wilson have earned a place among VH1’s 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll. Their contributions to rock music were further honored with ASCAP’s Founders Award, celebrating their groundbreaking songwriting legacy.

Beyond their musical impact, Heart’s influence stretches into pop culture, inspiring countless artists and fans alike. Their anthemic sound and powerhouse performances have shaped the landscape of rock for over five decades. Of their highly anticipated return in 2025, Ann Wilson declared, “The best is yet to come!” This is a concert no rock fan will want to miss!
