Let's go to the UB40 concert at Ravinia Festival. We will buy Lawn General Admission tickets and enjoy together the concert after a picnic.

Doors open at 5:00 pm and concert starts at 7:00 pm. Sharing as a group at this beautiful venue before the concert is an important component of the whole experience at Ravinia.
Tickets go on sale to the public on April 24 at Protected content .

You should bring your own chair / picnic mat/blanket or can rent a chair at Ravinia at $10. You can bring your own drinks and food and something to share with the group. I bring a table, decorate it, and also will have a corkscrew and bottle opener and some disposable cups in case you bring wine for yourself or to share.

One of the most successful and influential British reggae groups of all time, UB40 has sold more than Protected content albums worldwide with more than 50 charting singles in the UK, including their global #1 hits “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You.”

UB40 is joined by Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos, and the Buena Vista Orchestra, a Cuban trombonist, composer, arranger and musical director, best known as the original orchestra leader, composer, and trombonist of the Buena Vista Social Club.

You can travel to the concert by train using Metra on the Union Pacific North line which honor Ravinia tickets as train fares; just show your e-ticket for a free train ride. The train station is just in front of the park.
