Northerly is almost as crummy as Tinley. It's also quite small.

2013 was the first time. The mud disaster in the lawn still haunts me. I’d go again if I could pavilion seats. Tailgating is at least better than Wrigley but not as good as Tinley or Toyota.

Not knowing that it would be the first time at the venue makes me doubt you a tad.

It would make sense though. The tour announcement is super late this year Northerly still has availability on most Saturdays this summer.

Northerly Isl was terrible. The hike from Soldier Field was no fun. Bathrooms were awful. The concert itself was great and the fireworks were a nice touch. Wrigley, not a favorite either. But, I go where JB is playing. Holding on to hope for Pine Knob!!!

I doubt that Jimmy will return to Northerly Island for another show, given that is first and only to date appearance there was quite problematic

Alpine has all but 1 day available for the entire Summer!
