Photo Gallery: Foreigner & Cheap Trick on the Lakefront
Foreigner, Cheap Trick, and Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience played the city's Huntington Bank Pavilion on Wednesday night.
Chicago's Huntington Bank Pavilion hosted a mid-week rock show on Wednesday night with classic rockers Foreigner, Cheap Trick, and special guest Jason Bonham.
Although Chicago's weather is unpredictable and often temperamental, sunny skies graced the lakefront on Wednesday, giving fans the best experience possible at the city's outdoor concert venue.
Foreigner is currently celebrating their 40th anniversary on the road with a nationwide tour set to run through September.

Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, opened the show with his Led Zeppelin Experience prior to Rockford's very own Cheap Trick hitting the stage.
Foreigner's time in front of the crowd came later in the evening, with lead singer Kelly Hansen doing an outstanding job replicating the sound of the group's original lead singer, Lou Gramm, who is no longer touring with the band.

Hansen's powerful voice, paired with the energy and enthusiasm from the rest of the band members, left most attendees on their feet throughout Foreigner's entire set.
Members of the Chesterton, IN High School show choir even got a chance to share the stage with Foreigner during the band's encore of "I Want to Know What Love Is".
