Windy City Smokeout Festival BIO
Windy City Smokeout is a multi-day country music and barbecue festival in Chicago. Its Sunday program brings together Jon Pardi and Riley Green, two artists known for contemporary country performances. This event listing identifies the 2025 date and lineup; it does not provide a history of either performer's appearances at the festival, so previous venue dates cannot be confirmed here.
The Chicago location places the festival in the United Center area, within a city known for its broad live-music calendar and distinctive neighborhood food scene. The outdoor format gives attendees room to move between the main stage and festival grounds, making it a full-day experience rather than a conventional seated concert.
Venue and Seating Information
Windy City Smokeout takes place in an outdoor lot at the United Center, with capacity of approximately 20,000 guests per day. General Admission provides access to the festival grounds and an open standing area for the main stage; it does not offer assigned seats, so arriving early is a practical way to seek a preferred viewing position.
VIP and Platinum ticket tiers include upgraded access areas and viewing opportunities. The supplied venue information does not include section-by-section fan reviews, so specific “best” or “worst” seating sections cannot be verified. Children 10 and under may attend in GA free when accompanied by a paying adult.

Parking is limited in the official United Center lots, and availability may run out. The venue information recommends purchasing parking in advance by festival day. Walk-up parking may be available at the gate if spaces remain.
