About the Performance
Presented by Ravinia and

“This is where I’m supposed to be” affirms the West Chatham native, speaking about the city that continues to shape his art, activism and community. Since his debut mixtape 10 Day, Chance the Rapper has evolved into a cultural force, redefining what it means to be an independent artist in the mainstream. The critically acclaimed Acid Rap followed (2013), and in 2016, Coloring Book made history at the Grammys—cementing Chance’s place as one of hip-hop’s most innovative voices.
After six years away from the album spotlight, Chance returns with STAR LINE, a project shaped by personal trials, artistic evolution, and a renewed sense of purpose. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a remarkable return to form,” the album reaffirms Chance’s place among hip-hop’s most visionary independent voices. Reflecting on the album’s intimate scope, NPR adds “STAR LINE scans as a roving pilgrimage bringing the rapper back home—to Chicago, to family and friends, to gun violence, to the church, to face the man in the mirror.”
This summer, Chance makes his Ravinia debut, celebrating both his Chicago roots and continued artistic ascent. “I’m here, I’m posted. I’m not going anywhere,” he declares—a testament to his city, his roots, and a future still being written.
