Ravinia Festival Tickets Go On Sale April 24 for Iconic Summer Concerts

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Ravinia Festival ticket sales begin April 24 at 8 a.m. for its highly anticipated 2025 season. This popular summer music event runs from June 6 to August 31, hosting an impressive lineup of over 100 performances.

This year’s lineup includes major artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Janelle Monáe, Maren Morris, and James Taylor, along with first-time performers like Kygo and Juanes. Ravinia President and CEO Jeffrey P. Haydon highlighted the festival’s diverse offerings, saying, “Ravinia has something for everyone—classical music, rock, pop, R&B, soul, Latin, jazz, country, hip-hop, DJs, movies, musical theater, and more!”

Noteworthy events for 2025 include a collaboration between Cynthia Erivo and Beck with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as a special narrative performance by Morgan Freeman. The festival promises to delight visitors with various genres throughout the summer.

Tickets are priced starting at $15 and will be exclusively available through Ravinia’s official website. Fans are encouraged to avoid third-party sellers, as they are not authorized retailers and often charge inflated prices.

This year marks a significant milestone as Ravinia embarks on a $75 million renovation project aimed at modernizing its facilities and enhancing the concert-going experience while maintaining the venue’s historic charm. Updates are expected to be visible this season, including improvements to sound systems and the Sandra K. Crown Theater.

Ravinia Festival serves as a cherished cultural hallmark in the Chicago area, offering a serene wooded environment for concerts, where guests can bring picnics or dine at park restaurants.
