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

Lenny Kravitz is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor, renowned for his eclectic blend of rock, funk, soul, reggae, and psychedelia. Born Leonard Albert Kravitz on May 26, 1964, in New York City, he was raised in a culturally rich environment as the only child of actress Roxie Roker and television producer Sy Kravitz. His diverse heritage—African-American, Bahamian, Jewish, and Ukrainian—has profoundly influenced his music and identity.

Kravitz's musical journey began at a young age; he started playing drums at three and later taught himself guitar, bass, and keyboards. His debut album, Let Love Rule (1989), marked the beginning of a successful career characterized by a fusion of various musical genres. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he released several hit albums, including Mama Said (1991), Are You Gonna Go My Way (1993), and 5 (1998), producing iconic tracks such as “It Ain’t Over ‘til It’s Over,” “Fly Away,” and “American Woman”

Beyond music, Kravitz has ventured into acting, notably portraying Cinna in The Hunger Games series. He is also the founder of Kravitz Design Inc., a creative studio for branding, graphic, and interior design.
In 2024, Kravitz released his latest album, Blue Electric Light, recorded in the Bahamas, reflecting his evolving sound and creative vision. https://lennykravitz.com/
