Dedicated Email - Wednesday - 06/17/2026 - FitzGerald's - 43rd American Music Festival

Four days of roots, rock, blues, soul, and Americana at one of Chicagoland's most beloved music institutions.

From July 2nd-5th, FitzGerald's transforms its historic Berwyn grounds into a four-day celebration of roots music, bringing together more than 40 artists across blues, soul, rock, Americana, funk, and beyond. This year's lineup features Neal Francis, Spin Doctors, The Heavy Heavy, Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Southern Avenue, and dozens more artists spread across multiple stages.

Add Babygold BBQ, cold drinks, and a crowd that actually came for the music, and you've got one of the best ways to spend a long holiday weekend.
