Fall preview
but that just means it’s time for some city’s biggest venues. By Zach Long
MADONNA
Nuns straddling stripper poles? Dancers toting giant crosses? Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour may be trying a little too hard, but Madge is likely to breathe some life into the Diplo, Avicii and Kanye West– produced tunes from her so-so 2015 release. If not, at least you have the promise of solid renditions of her ’80s chart-toppers. United Center, 1901 W Madison St (312-455-4500,
unitedcenter.com/events). Sept 28 at 8pm; $40–$355.

RICKY MARTIN
Fourteen years after “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” the Puerto Rican pop hunk is still shaking his bon-bon on the
international One World Tour. While the show’s set list includes cuts from
Martin’s latest Spanish-language album A Quien Quiera Escuchar (To Those Who Want to Listen), it doesn’t skimp on his most well-known tracks. Consider
yourself invited to this giant Latin dance party. Allstate Arena, 6920 N Mannheim Rd, Rosemont (847-635-6601,
rosemont.com/allstate/events). Oct 11 at 7:30pm; $20.15–$125.
ARIANA GRANDE
Kids, eh! At an age when most of us just graduate from college, 22-year- old actor turned pop star (and notorious doughnut-licker) Ariana Grande is already wrapping up her second headlining arena tour. The “Break Free” singer’s Honeymoon Tour boasts the requisite backup dancers, backing vocal tracks and hordes of elated teenage fans. United Center, 1901 W Madison St (312-455-4500,
unitedcenter.com/events). Oct 2 at 7:30pm; $20–$79.50.
