When Sheila and her friends decide to build the ultimate summer fort, they end up attracting the attention of a fancy coyote. Suddenly, they’re zooming through a desert where cacti can talk, howling councils meet, and hilariously strange creatures have the wildest ideas about saving the planet. Will they save the day or just end up in a prickly situation?

Hailed as one of the "most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era,” the legendary rock and roll band with horns, Chicago, was the highest-charting American band in Billboard Magazine's Top 125 Artists of All Time. Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades.

Featuring the signature sounds Chicago fans have come to love, BORN FOR THIS MOMENT, captures the true heart of this legendary band. Over the entire course of 14 vibrant new songs, BORN FOR THIS MOMENT encapsulates the unique blend of award-winning and personal songwriting, multilayered harmonic vocalizations, and world-class arrangements that have been electrifying audiences across the globe for decades.

Chicago has toured every year since the beginning — they’ve never missed a year. The original three band members are Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet and vocals, and James Pankow on trombone. The band line-up also includes Wally Reyes, Jr. on drums, Tony Obrohta on guitar, Loren Gold on keyboards and vocals, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute, Neil Donell on vocals, Eric Baines on bass and Ramon "Ray" Yslas on percussion.

This band's concerts celebrate the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic Vocalists, and a few dozen ever-Classic Songs. 2025 marks the band’s 58th consecutive year of touring!
