101WKQX Piqniq

This was my second year attending PIQNIQ and it was a blast! Even though it was hot we had a lot of fun.

My friend and I had a great time! We ve been waiting the see The Neighbourhood for about six months, and the wait was totally worth it! I ve been wanting to see Bush for about a year, and I was lucky enough to see them with The Neighbourhood!! Great venue, great sound, great vibes!

Despite it being ungodly hot, the concert was awesome. Bands were great. The venue did make a few concessions that made the heat bearable, allowing the extra water and seating for the lawn be brought in made the day long concert wonderful in the over 100 degree heat

This was our third year attending Piqniq and we always have a great time. It was very hot this year but there were misters and we were able to bring in plenty of water. Plan to attend again next year!

101wkqx puts on a fabulous day of concerts at the Hollywood casino amphitheater! It was going to be pushing 100 degrees and the venue was accommodating with allowing waterbottles and sunscreen. DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL was amazing... also I ve been waiting to see them since I was 13. Toward the end of the night, the people on the lawn get a little crazy, but no incidents that I was aware of. And rude people leave trash everywhere, sadly. Food choices weren t great, no healthy food and lines were horribly long. Two years ago there was a healthy food tent, bring that back!!!

During the week I found out about Piqniq. Had seen the schedule and was so excited about Greta on main stage. When I got there the schedule was changed. No explanation of why they didn t make it.

The concert was pretty good. I was annoyed bands that played the second stage only Played like 5 songs. I was super sad GVF didn t come also.

Fun! Too hot and sunny. The projector screens showing the stage are outdated and not clear

Grate Van Fleet cancelled and the rest was not good enough

I bought tickets to Piqniq in order to see a band that doesn t come around here often. The band backs out two days before the even because of injury and then proceeds to play the day after Piqniq in Milwaukee at Summerfest. Greta Van Fleet is the band in question so they just lost a huge fan and the people running the show let that happen with no recourse of giving back to the fans.

Greta Van Fleet was the only reason I bought tickets to this event. I didn t know until I googled the lineup the day of that they had cancelled. It wasn t published anywhere by 101.1 at the event when you walked in either, so I was shocked when I saw they wouldn t be performing. That s poor communication, and 101.1 should have done a better job letting all concert attendees know this.

This is my third year for this concert event and every year has been a lot of fun! Even though I'm kind of an old guy (61) I love the venue and the bands that are booked. Last year, Highly Suspect was amazing!!; this year it was Bush!! (and Bishop Briggs was also great) Always go with my kids and it's a nice chance to relax and enjoy each other while listening to some pretty great music!

Was a too hot for me to get there early and take full advantage of the event

Great event to discover new bands that are on the upswing. With Warped tour ending, it's primed to become the premier annual event held in Tinley Park.

The only thing that ruined my time at Tweeter Center was that Greta Van Fleet were unable to play! Apart from that my time here was just as enjoyable as all my other times visiting this venue! Can't wait to go back again this weekend for Weezer/Pixies.

Greta Van Fleet was taken off the bill and we were not made aware until we got there after driving 2 1-2 hours. Disappointed

Originally I bought my tickets to see Greta Van Fleet. I was totally bummed when they cancelled cause I don't get to go see groups I like often. Bishop Briggs deserved to be on the main stage absolutely rocked the place. When Gavin Rossdale went into the crowd he solidified that going was the right choice. Awolnation had me saying Greta Van Who! Was a great show.

I was really pleased with the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre venue. Had Premier parking which was a breeze to park. Set up inside was great. I can't wait for my next concert there, Godsmack July 2018!!! I will definitely be going to more concerts there. My view from Section 103 was great.

Event hough it was hotter than hell, the venue did their best to keep people alive and well. I was impressed by how quickly medical staff were there to help whenever an incident occurred. And shout out to the guy spraying people down with a hose. He was the real MVP. While I was not a fan of either L.I.F.T. or The Front Bottoms, Welshley Arms and Marina City started the day off well. Once things moved to the large stage, the shows became incredible. Bishop Briggs was amazing, The Neighborhood was energetic and good, I found out just how much I loved Bush at Piqniq and Dashboard Confessional was surprisingly right up my alley. Not only did my love for Briggs and Bush strengthen, but a new love for Dashboard developed. That's the sign of a good festival. Then there was Awolnation, and I have zero words to describe how incredible they were. Easily the best show I have ever been to. I plan on going to as many of their shows as I possibly can. Overall, great festival and I can't wait until next year! (Just no more Front Bottoms or bands who are going to chant their own names like LIFT did... because no one else was...)

The show was great! The weather was hot but plenty of water stations. Bush was fantastic just wish Greta Van Fleet wouldn t have canceled their set.

I cannot articulate the disappointment about Greta Van fleet not playing. They were the only reason I purchased tickets

Great show! Lots of fun! Staff was on top of the heat and keeping up with those who got too hot.

We drove 3 hours from Michigan and spent money on a hotel to come and see Greta Van Fleet play. Although, when we got there and saw a different bands set up on stage we then looked up the line up online to see that the drummer hurt his wrist so they wouldn't be playing. Totally understandable and not the Venue's fault that he hurt his wrist. But the problem is they knew this two days prior and did not advertise the change at all. They could have sent out a mass email, like the one I got that prompted me to write this review explaining the change. Or they could have had it posted at the venue site letting people know- but they didn't do that either. The lady who ended up playing in their place had a good voice but we weren't able to make out any of the words she was signing so we left after her act as we didn't know anyone else in the line up. When we asked if we could have a refund they said no because it wasn't the main act who canceled. Overall really disappointed.

Honestly I've been trying to like HCA in tinley. I continually try and give it a chance by attending shows there but honestly the lineup for this event was subpar when Greta cancelled and there was no replacement. Summerfest is in the area book one of those bands, American authors was in town or an aftershow have them play. There wasn't a lot of shade in the 95 degree whether but I commend livenation for lowering the cost of water, giving out free water and spraying people down. The Promised water stations all over the venue were missing minus the water fountains. The topping on my awful experience was when purchasing chicken tenders and an alcoholic beverage my credit was swiped twice. When checking my bank account and bringing it to the attention of management they laughed at first asking if I didn't buy two things. No, I didn't. They checked the Point of sale systems at both stands starting I was in the transactions twice and that if there were further problems call them Monday. This is how I planned to spend a holiday fighting for a $30 overcharge

Sound system bad, one of best bands canceled,excessive heat,

Loved that venue was willing to update their policy of what was allowed in due to the heat. WKQRX team was out there working the crowd between the awesome artists. My family and i enjoyed listening to well known artists and the up and comers that came from our own back yard and across the country.

What a complete joke of a festival. Greta Van Fleet pulled out and we were left to listen to subpar bands at an expensive price.
