B96 Summer Bash

Great mix of performers who sang their hits. Definitely attending again!

All the women: Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Alessia Cara, Meghan Trainor, and Halsey were amazing. The guys, not so much. Liam Payne led us in karaoke. Half of his six song set were covers. Really? Sing your own stuff dude. The switch between performers was super fast. Depending on the line up my friends and I would definitely go next year.

Incredible performances. Bringing music together. A mixture of music brought together in one Event.

Great Bash! My favorite Fly Girl was absolutely beautiful and what a performance! Papi's girl rocked. Everyone was on their feet for the last performance of the evening well worth the wait... B96 Summer Bash is the Event to attend it has become our Annual Concert to be at. Worth every penny !

The event was great overall! Some of the artists feel a bit short (JLO, Austin Mahone) and others were surprisingly great (Jason Derulo, Pitbull). The DJ's in between sets were a great touch, especially DJ Metro who put the turn tables on fire! WOW! He was amazing! I went with a group of friends and our kids. What a great time!! I would do it again. My biggest gripes are that 1) they opened the stadium late and you had sworms of people waiting in line, and 2) the parking lot is a mess--disorganized and took forever to get out. Other than that I thought it impressed that everything went according to schedule.

The sound was bad, the food prices were bad and there is a light rig right in the way of the screen making it impossible to see the screen.

The concert itself was good once it started. the event started almost an hour late. my etickets worked wonderfullyl without difficulty

I have been to countless numbers of B96 concerts--summer, winter, and even way back when they had the Halloween bash--so I have had the opportunity to view great performances as well as those that didn't quite make the grade. Overall this Summerbash fell flat. There were some performers who did step up to the plate and gave it their all to make it exciting. Hot Chelle Rae was the first group of performers who had the audience on their feet and singing along enthusiastically with the group. Jason DeRulo provided us B-Bashers with one of the best performances ever. I have seen him numerous times as well, and this was one of his best. The choreography was exceptional, and his shirt off-abs glimmering did not detract from his fantastic vocals. Austin Mahone's voice has really matured into an extremely strong, good voice. Justin who? Sorry, Justin...move over for Austin. Now if Austin's dancing could compete with Ross Lynch's, then he would be quite a package. However, we were there to hear him sing, and I really appreciated it when he brought the level down with his acoustic solo. Iggy Azalea was boring. Strutting back and forth on stage in mile-high spikes while attempting to keep the audience entertained just didn't work. Okay, so what happened to Jennifer Lopez? I have been one of her diehard fans for years now and have enjoyed her singing, dancing, acting flourish. She is an extremely hardworking woman, and I give her props. However...what happened Saturday night? Too much jet lag and being worn out from the opening at the World Cup in Brazil? I have also seen her a number of times, and this was definitely the least inspiring of her performances to date. She did enough talking, and I have to admit that she seems to be very charismatic and sweet, but that has nothing to so with her singing and dancing. Maybe if she also took off those spikes so that she could actually dance, that would help. Oh JLo, maybe another time. So I was let down by J-Lo, and I thought...well, she is tired from the World Cup performance; and the final performer of the night was also performing at the World Cup opening, so he probably won't be able to do much as well. Pitbull sold it! A lot of the crowd had already begun to file out of the stadium before he came on stage. I'm glad that I was one of the faithful to stay behind to the end. What a performance! That man has so much energy, and there wasn't one person who was sitting down. We were all jumping and dancing along with him, and his smile was infectious! He held us all in the palm of his hand. Thank you, Pitbull, for pulling it through.

I knew it would be a good concert, but I wasn't expecting it to be that GREAT !!!!! Unforgettable night! I'm defiantly ready for the next one !!!

Awesome and I had awesome time we love everything what happen Chris brown

This was the worst concert I have ever been to, and it wasn't just the music I didn't like. The venue (Toyota Park) was horrible. Very poorly run. We waited outside the door for the (supposedly) 4:30 time we were to be let in. We were left standing out there in the gravel and hot sun for an extra 45 minutes. They didn't let anyone in until 5:15, and then it was this mad rush of people trying to squeeze into the door. When we got inside, we wanted to get something to eat. We stood in line for pizza for 30 minutes, and when we got to the front of the line and tried to order, they were completely out of ALL FOOD. They only had drinks they could sell us. When I asked if there was any food at all, the woman working said, "I could take your order and your money, but it will be at least 10-15 minutes before the food MIGHT be here." What a horribly run venue. I would never return to Toyota Park. And the music wasn't all that good either. J-Lo was a huge disappointment, and she looked horrible in that catsuit she was wearing.

the bands were off the chain they all put on about 30 min each for there set and the DJs were great to hear.

Awesome concert ! I just keep waiting for cris brown ! What happen ? He never show up !

I can't wait for the next concert, that was my first time their...I drove 7 hours to see pitbull and got to see a lot of good singers.

Jlo's "sorprise" guest ( Iggy Azalea) was completely disoriented, lost and seemed high during her duo performance w JLo's. It was obvious she tried to lipsing but her attemp was horrible and she couldn't even hold the microphone near her mouth!! At least JLo showed up, so much talk about her even cancelling her appearance.

Loved the venue, VERY helpful staff, amazing concert.

Great concert, all of the acts were great. They seemed to be rushing toward the end of the concert though. Why would you rush your top acts?

Will go next year. This event was such a fun night

We had an awesome time! My sister and I went with our teenage kids for the first time. The music was great and the performances were awesome! Jason, JLo and Pitbull brought the house down! The only thing I would recommend in the future is having the artists censor their performances! It's not necessary to hear profanity when a large population of the audience are young teenagers. Other than that, it was fun!

The event was amazing. I enjoyed Hot Chelle Rae and Jason Derulo the most. JLo was right behind them. I didn't enjoy Austin Mahone...you could tell that he wasn't singing a lot of him music but lip syncing and he didn't sound good. it would be nice if the event started a little sooner...by 5pm the sun was covered by clouds, the air got cold, and the atmosphere chagned. It would have been better if it started sooner when the sun was still out more and everyone was hyper. Over all the event was amazing and I would go again.

Great concert, had main floor tix. Little ones weren't allowed to stand on chairs hard to see.

If you are over 16 you will feel out of place. Most of the crowd is preteen girls with there parents. Even though I felt like I was in the wrong place (18 year old male), the performances were top notch!

The entire concert was awesome! I enjoyed every minute of it and definitely something I will remember for a long time. If you ever thought about going to a summer or jingle bash, please do yourself a huge favor and go because this is definitely something you will enjoy.

First time I've been at the b-bash I took my daughter (10) she had a blast. I really enjoyed the pre-show the kids got t-shirts and other swag from different vendors which for the adults was ok but for the kids they just loved it and being able to sign a birthday card. What I HATED about the pre-show was even though people were nice enough to give away stuff I didn't realize that all of it had to be put away and we were not allowed to bring it into the venue so anything we had that could melt did melt the back-pack had to be put away and it was a bit too much of walking back and forth. The venue itself was great the show was more than I imagined it would be. My daughter had a great time and so did I definitely will be going again. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

all the artists there were all so good and the crowd stayed engaged with each one. I wish each artist could've performed longer, especially Ariana grande, but I am extremely grateful that I got to go.

A very well-oiled machine. The acts just keep coming! I was actually dreading going because Iggy Azalea CANCELED at the last minute--but the event was great. As a 47 year old lover of pop music, this was a great concert. PLEASE publicize event times better! A list of acts and times they started would have been great. Calvin Harris played a KILLER set.

Great selection of performers! My daughter and I definately enjoyed ourselves. I would most certainly recommend for the future.

Everyone was amazing and Bebe was a pleasant surprise. Calvin Harris was great and Ari gave us a great birthday present! Only negative was they didn't have the big side screens in use. Even though we had main floor seats, we couldn't see much.

Allstate Arena easy to find, plenty of parking, easy to get into venue and plenty of food vendors and bathrooms. Set turn around was quick between artists. Popular artists, playing their best know hits. Was a four hour concert in all.

I was really only there for Ariana Grande but everyone else was amazing! I thought I wasn't going to have that much fun but it was seriously awesome! Loved every second! Security could lighten up about visiting friends in other sections though, they were so annoying.

Overall was a great concert with a lot of great performances. I think that it was unfair that originally Chris Brown was scheduled to perform, and then without any explanation or any warning or even without an email, they cancelled him. Iggy was a fine replacement but I had originally paid a much higher price to sit closer because I thought Chris Brown was performing. A long concert - 6 hours! But worth the price. Could have done without THREE DJ's in between performances, also causing the concert to be extremely long. Overall a wonderful concert!

This was my first concert and it was the best I'm am a huge jlo fan it was amazing to see her

My daughters and their friends had a blast...unforgettable night!

I have been to 3 Jingle Bashes in the past 4 years but had never attended a summer bash until now. I will most definitely be attending again. B96 really does bring the best artits who know how to put on quite the show. Great venue with great seating even though I was near the back of the floor. Such a great time that I'll always remember. I danced and sang the night away. Too much fun! Great for any age!

My wife and I try to go to at least a few concerts every year, but nothing of this size before. For others like me who would essentially be virgins, be prepared. The sound will shake you to the very core of your being while remaining crystal clear no matter where you go. And it was AWESOME! We are definitely going to try to get tickets as soon as they come out next year. What really surprised me was the energy of the crowd, it was like no other show I've been to. I loved looking around, there was always someone dancing (the girls sitting immediately behind us appeared to not stop once), singing along, and generally having a good time. My wife and I hit the concession stand twice during the 6 hour show (once for food, once for drinks) and found the prices to be pretty reasonable. We ate for ~$10/person and spent probably another $10 on drinks later on, so not bad at all. I saw in other reviews that people didn't like the timing or how short some of the acts were, but my wife and I found it perfect. We stayed for the whole show (and watched it morph from a moderately full venue to a packed house by the end of the night), and it was nice to know that we had at least ~30 minutes whenever an act came on that we wouldn't be upset if we missed. I also liked that the pace was quick enough that you didn't get bored with an artist adding "filler" material to try to fill a long time slot.

This show was excellent! High energy, non-stop fun, and great music!

Finally a complete show. I think all performers did a good job. And show their range as an artists the biggest surprises was iggy and Jason. I didn't know much of them going into the performance and I think in some regards they stole the show. Mrs Lopez and pit bull put on a show and I was satisfied .no complaint

This concert was amazing!! It was my 1st B Bash in 14 years! The weather was perfect!! I cant wait to go back again next year!!

The B96 Summer Bash was fun. It is worth the money to see all the artists that performed. The seats could have been better but all in all the actual event was great. The only negatives from the event was that the concession stands were serving drinks without the bottle caps which is so unsanitary. I bought a Gatorade and a Bottled Water and they didnt give me the cap to them. I found it disturbing that other peoples germs could get in my drink while I placed it in the drink holster. Not only that but it is more likely to spill that way. I also was so frustrated with getting out of the parking lot after the concert. It took about an hour. There should have been people in the lot directing traffic. There could have been an accident because cars were just everywhere going in all types of directions. So, all in all, the event was great but the venue not so much.

The summer bash was an amazing show. I have not had that much fun in a long time

I didn't like how some of the seats didn't have the balloon thing. I, also, didn't like how I had to go through three different lines just to get to my field seats. Other than that, I really enjoyed the event. I liked all the singers that appeared and all the songs they sang. I liked the big television screen they had on top of the stage to see the singers. It really helped me see the performers more clearly.

I did enjoy the show but I was disappointed by the short amount of time Jennifer Lopez was on stage. I think there were too many acts. I would have rather seen longer performances by the big name artists (Jennifer Lopez and Pit Bull) than the short performances by the extra artists. Iggy Azalea's performance was too short, too, in addition to the difficulties she seemed to be having with her mic.

The event should have a schedule that is available online with the times of each artist.

4th time going..been taken my daughter since she was 13...we had a blast..good times!

My wife and I have very good time. Weather was great too. We love it.

Awesome experience, minus Iggy Azalea. She was kinda lame.

had a great time with my son and my wife...the enjoyed my father's day present very much :) had a good lineup and good entretainment . Concessions snacks are overpriced and they suck....

Great music and food. Great open area but had to wait long time in line to get in bc Jennifer Lopez was rehearsing so heard her set at least 3x before the show. DJs rocked it and so did the performances.

The line up was awesome! I took my daughter and her friend for an 8th grade graduation present. My daughter Gianna is a big Austin Mahone fan, and was so excited to see him. She is also a Jason Derulo, Iggy Azalea and Pittbull fan. I loved everyone's performance, the d.j.'s were great and kept the crowd jumping. Even the venue was great and easy to get to. Thanks for a wonderful time.

I had good seats to see the whole screen and my surroundings.

My whole experience was wonderful. From the parking lot to finding our seat. And show was great. I had a blast, the sound system was amazing the hair on my arms was standing with each bass. Lol.

Having the best of all 7 artists was just amazing! Definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to..

I arrived at the beginning of the show and had floor seating. My seat was located in the back row of section A2, but I was able to sit front row, exactly center! It was so much fun and honestly such a blast. The only con was when recording the sound wasn't too great because I was so close to the speaker; my pictures were amazing though. The music was great, the crowd was great, but if you're sitting in the floor with a good seat, the bathroom and food are a real challenge. Luckily I can hold it for many hours.

It was really good but what I didn't like is that it wasn't really full like for this kind of event. Maybe the tickets were to expenses ???? But after all it was really good

We had such a great time at the 2014 b96 summer bash! All the artists that performed killed it out there. We also really enjoyed DJ Metro. He had us dancing during his entire set. Such an amazing time. Well done B96 as always!

OVER ALL IT WAS VERY GOOD, I TOOK MY GIRLFRIENDS DAUGHTER TO THIS EVENT AND SHE LOVED IT ALTHOUGH JENNIFER LOPEZ DIDNT PLAY LONG ENOUGH AND REALLY DIDNT DO ANYTHING AMAZING ,EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME , CONCESSIONS WAY OVER PRICED

This was my first time. l actually took my daughter & her friend and thought we were only going to see "Why Don't We" was suprised at the line-up & very happy. I/We enjoyed this so much that we are already planning on doing it again next year.

I had so much fun all the artists were amazing. I had originally only went because of Why Don t We and Liam Payne but I ended up enjoying all the artists performances❤️

Lots of great artists! Great experience. I got a chance to see Dua Lipa, Meghan Trainor, Bebe Rexha, Liam Payne, Alessia Cara and Halsey! I super enjoyed the event. It's very loud, lively and fun. I'd recommend going to this event again. It's really worth it!!.

it was such an awesome experience for my first arena concert. i would definitely go again next year !

They always have an amazing artist lineup! So much fun.

I loved the b96 summer bash it was my 4th time going. I took my daughter and two nieces with me.It was worth paying one price to see all those artist perform.

The show was great, my only critique was Halsey should have performed more because she is absolutely incredible. Summer Bash should let their headlining performer perform more songs.

Great show as always... But I wish the parking price was cheaper or free like during Disney on Ice / Marvel etc.. If they want to continue charging for that amount, at least allow credit card charge. Right now, it's CASH only.

I had a BLAST!! I enjoyed all the performers and look forward to going to future B96 Summer Bash Concerts!

Loved the music and the venue! A very enjoyable lineup of artists!

Great venue!! Awesome seats. Altho anywhere you sit at the Allstate Arena is good.

Amazing atmosphere. The artists were very energetic. Our seats were very close to the stage which made it even better for us! Sec. 111

I got these tickets for my daughter and her friend. they had an amazing time. They loved all the acts, and said that the venue was set up well. Their only complaint was that one of the ushers was really mean to them because she thought they were younger than they actually were.

There are so many artists to see! They all got a decently long set. It was neat to see all of these artists perform! Was super excited that 5sos, Liam Payne, and Why Don't We were there! Would definitely recommend!

This was my first concert in 30 years so to be able to see so many artists in one night was great. They all put on a fantastic performance. The breaks between each artists were short but with enough time to get snacks or go to the restroom. So happy I was able to attend it.

Great performances by Meghan Trainor, Dua Lipa and Liam Payne!

First time attending this event and would recommend it. Variety of artists for the price was a real bargain! No matter where your seating is, you will have a great view.

My daughter & I liked it. Too much screaming teenagers, tho!

This was our first time attending Summer Bash but this definitely won t be our last. The value of tickets to see 8 acts was well worth it! This will be an annual event for my daughters and I. Thanks B96 Chicago

I was very pleased with the lineup and overall cost of the show.

This is a teen and family concert... was very disappointed and felt unconfortable... I left after the third act, did not get to see anyone I wanted to see! You should let people know the target audience... I am very sorry I attended!!!

Parking was quick and close. Free wings, Great! Started on time! Show was great! Halsey was short. :( They had her mic too loud

Very well organized, filled with incredible artists and in a safe venue. What else could you ask for? Awesome time!

I would recommend this concert for anyone looking for a good time! I loved the artists that B96 chose to perform for the summer bash! The people were friendly, and the performances were great!
