Please try to come early so it is to meet at the front & sit together. I will post my location once I arrive. I plan to arrive at 5 pm when the gates open!

If you drive, it is $25 for parking. For bigger shows, they may send you to satellite lots, so I strongly suggest coming early if you can! Otherwise, you will have to wait for shuttle buses to bring you to the venue. Can also park at the Highland Park Metra station after 4 pm for free & shuttle over. More details here:

I will most likely take the Metra. You will need to take the Union Pacific North line. You can get on at Chicago OTC, Clybourn, Ravenswood etc.
If you want to ride the Metra with me, meet me at the Ravenswood station, or if you get on before me, then we can meet on the train. Once it gets closer, we can coordinate train time as the summer schedule is not out yet! The train stops at Ravinia’s Tyler Gate (“Ravinia Park” stop)*.
The nearby “Braeside” stop is only a quarter-mile walk from Ravinia. For more info go here

Heart is an American rock band formed in the early 1970s and led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, who became trailblazers for women in rock music. With a sound that blends hard rock, folk, and later polished pop-rock, Heart rose to fame with their debut album Dreamboat Annie (1975), featuring iconic tracks like “Crazy on You” and “Magic Man.” Their fierce energy, powerful vocals, and skilled musicianship set them apart, particularly Ann’s commanding voice and Nancy’s dynamic guitar work. The band achieved massive commercial success throughout the late '70s and '80s with hits like “Barracuda,” “These Dreams,” “What About Love,” and the chart-topping power ballad “Alone.” Known for their emotionally charged performances and ability to evolve with the times, Heart sold over 35 million albums worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Their influence endures, both as pioneering women in a male-dominated genre and as creators of some of rock’s most memorable songs.
