Playboi Carti's Antagonist tour stop at the United Center is now behind us, and the arena on Chicago's Near West Side has already turned the page. Big concerts, family shows and the usual run of Bulls and Blackhawks home games fill the calendar for the rest of the year.
The United Center opened in 1994 and is the largest indoor arena in the city. For concerts it holds close to 23,000 people, and the in-the-round and end-stage setups both give a clear view from the upper bowl. The famous Michael Jordan statue outside the east atrium is still the meeting point of choice before a show.
Upcoming highlights include The Neighbourhood and a rare night with Stevie Wonder in late November. DJ and producer John Summit and R&B star Brent Faiyaz also have dates before the end of the month. Early in the new year, Disney On Ice brings its Spotlight Magic show to town, a good pick for families looking for a winter outing.
Getting there is easy. The Pink and Green Line stops at Ashland are a short walk away, and the #20 Madison bus stops right at the arena. Parking lots open well before doors, but they fill quickly on concert nights, so plan to arrive early.
See the full schedule, seating chart and prices on our United Center tickets page. The biggest names usually sell out, so it is worth booking as soon as you can.
