The Black Crowes at the Illinois State Fair Grandstand

Sat, Aug 09 , 2025 • 8:00pm - 11:00pm

801 E Sangamon Ave, Springfield, IL 62794

The Black Crowes take the state at the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on August 9th

The Black Crowes are biting back with the angst of words left unsaid penned on paper and electrified by guitar strings, revealing stripped, bare-boned rock & roll. No gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at its very best—gritty, loud, and in your face.

Since The Black Crowes reunited in 2019, they've made a triumphant return to form with over 150 shows spanning 20 countries worldwide, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker, the album that put them on the map.
