Lincoln Park Zoo Provides Some Soul For The Animals And Their Guests

Chicago’s wildest concert venue, Lincoln Park Zoo, is gearing up for 90s rock music sensation Soul Asylum, set to perform Friday, August 22. 

Opening for Soul Asylum will be the Pat McGee Band who will take the stage at 7 p.m. The performance will conclude the zoo’s summer concert series Jammin’ at the Zoo. Tickets are still available, and can be purchased at the zoo’s Gateway Pavilion. Tickets may also be purchased by phone at 312-742-2283, or online at www.lpzoo.org, but a small service charge will apply.  

Jammin’ at the Zoo takes place in the heart of the zoo where lions and tigers look on, creating an outdoor atmosphere unlike any other in the city. Celebrating its fifteenth season, the distinctive setting and incredible live music make these concerts a Chicago favorite.

Gates open to the general public at 6 p.m. Zoo Members with tickets can enter 15 minutes early to stake out seating. Seating is open, and guests are encouraged to bring small chairs or blankets. However, no coolers, outside food or drink are permitted. Full food service will be available at Park Place Café and Landmark Café.
