The Ravinia Festival, North America's oldest festival, is slated to take place in June 2022 in Highland Park, Illinois. This year's lineup includes 50 artists stretched across 100 concerts that will take place until September 18.
Some prominent performers include Sting, Emmylou Harris, Grace Potter, The Black Crowes, and Pitbull, amongst others. Also performing at the festival will be The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who will return for a six-week summer residency beginning in July, featuring 15 programs led by Marin Alsop.
The tickets for the festival will be available for sale starting May 4, on the festival’s official website, phone, or at the venue.
Jeffrey P. Haydon, the festival's President and CEO, said:
"Ravinia is the premier music destination each summer for listeners of all generations."
He continued:
"We have a robust lineup of more than 100 events ranging from global music, jazz, country, and hip-hop, to indie rock, pop, family shows, and of course, classical, featuring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in residence. We also have chamber music and recitals, films with live scores, our annual celebration of Mexican music and culture, reggae, and American Songbook-truly something for everyone."

Fiesta Ravinia
More about The Ravinia Festival
Ravinia is a not-for-profit music festival that is held every year at a 36-acre park with three venues and the popular lawn known for picnicking. The festival supports classical music with its annual summer residency of the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Steans Music Institute for professional musicians, and its 'REACH TEACH PLAY' music education programs.
The first orchestra to perform at the Festival was the New York Philharmonic under Walter Damrosch on June 17, 1905. The festival has been the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) since 1936. The festival attracts nearly 600,000 listeners over the events that span all genres from classical music to jazz and music theater.
