Ever dreamed of seeing your favorite band at your favorite zoo? Brookfield Zoo’s Roaring Nights summer concert series is making that dream a reality.
The beloved outdoor concert series returns on select dates this summer, bringing three nights of unforgettable live music, dancing, and good vibes to the zoo grounds.
This year’s lineup features heavy-hitters from the alternative rock scene:
- Saturday, June 21: Live takes the stage with crowd favorites like “Lightning Crashes” and “I Alone.”
- Friday, July 18: Third Eye Blind brings the energy with hits including “Semi-Charmed Life” and “How’s It Going to Be?”
- Saturday, August 16: A double-header featuring Better Than Ezra and GRAMMY-nominated trio Tonic will close out the series with a bang.
While enjoying Roaring Nights, guests can also explore the zoo’s exhibits and attractions in a special after-hours environment. Take in the music while exploring the big cats habitat or catching a ride on the zoo Ferris wheel.
Roaring Nights will be held on the East Mall at Brookfield Zoo. Tickets are on sale now, with proceeds supporting the zoo’s mission of world-class animal care and wildlife conservation.
Brookfield Zoo members can take advantage of all-inclusive ticket packages, while all guests have the option to purchase an Early Access add-on—granting entry 30 minutes before gates open and first dibs on food, drinks, seating, and band merch.
