On Wednesday, NASCAR revealed the headlining musical acts for the 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race, with Keith Urban, The Black Keys, The Chainsmokers, and country star Lauren Alaina set to take the stage.
According to a statement from NASCAR, contemporary rock legends The Black Keys will hit the stage first, on Saturday, July 6, following the conclusion of the day’s race. Electro-pop icons The Chainsmokers will close out the evening and share a special photo moment with the NASCAR Cup Series drivers.
Country star Lauren Alaina will open on Sunday, July 7, before a closing performance by megastar Keith Urban before the Cup Series’ Grant Park 165 race. A number of local Chicago music acts will perform at the two-day event as well, with an additional lineup to be announced at a later date, according to NASCAR.
“The Chicago Street Race Weekend is the ultimate summer festival, bringing together the best of sports, music, food, and Chicago culture at the can’t-miss event of the year,” said Chicago Street Race president Julie Giese.
“This A-list concert lineup truly offers something for everyone – and with even more acts to be announced soon, the 2024 Chicago Street Race will deliver new and returning attendees of all ages a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
The 2024 Street Race will mark the second time The Chainsmokers have headlined the event. The group was scheduled to play the 2023 Chicago Street Race but saw their set canceled by torrential rains.
