Episode 23: Chicago Open Air - 2019

Here it is, year 3. The final Chicago Open Air. At least for now, we hope. While the venue remained the same, just under a different name, much of what we fell in love with was gone. Even though the festival setup did not live up to past years, the music did. The 2019 headliners were System of a Down and Tool. Only 1 stage, and 2 days this year. But like past years we found many new bands through the opening artists. The final installment of Chicago Open Air left a sour taste in our mouth, but the overall experience of the 3 years have left us wanting a Metal festival to return to the midwest and our favorite city, Chicago.
