Confetti and streamers burst into the air, fire shot up off the stage and two of the nation's biggest pop punk bands combined forces on Friday night to give fans a bigger show than they've ever seen from either artist- one deserving of the title Monumentour.
The music. The laughter. The hugs. The joy. For one night, Millennium Park became the epicenter of arguably Chicago’s greatest musical pioneer. The Frankie Knuckles Tribute Party was one of the best outdoor events of the year that transcended its purpose, bringing thousands of people together in memory of Frankie Knuckles.
Cars clog the Tinley Park exit ramps on I-80 all the way to the highway, gravel in the parking lot crunches under cowboy boots and the moon shines down on a crowd dotted with cutoff jeans and cowboy hats. It must be the first big country music concert of the summer in Chicagoland.
