There are several seating options available, from the covered outdoor amphitheater The Pavilion (which holds 3,350 seated attendees) to lawn seating associated with general admission tickets. Keep in mind that price points differ based on the type of ticket you're looking for and the act you want to watch, but there are definitely some affordable options out there to look through. Among the highlights are Grace Jones with Janelle Monáe and Queen! on June 7; James Taylor and His All-Star Band with special guest Tiny Habits on June 19; Kygo with special guest Victoria Nadine on July 6; Beck with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on July 23; John Legend celebrating the 20th anniversary of Get Lifted on August 23 and 24; and the Marvel Studios' Infinity Saga Concert Experience with Chicago Philharmonic on August 29. Along with return festival favorites like Heart, Al Green, The Black Crowes, The Roots, Diana Krall and Chicago, Ravinia will welcome several exciting newcomers for the season, including Nas, Sutton Foster, Juanes, Ray LaMontagne, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and The Mohan Sisters. And a notable component of this year's festival is the 89th Chicago Symphony Orchestra residency, which spans six weeks and features an extraordinary range of performances, with the works of Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Gershwin and more on the setlist.
