Four member co-ed K-Pop group KARD makes their long awaited return to Chicago on December 12th, 2025 through their tour, KARD 2025 US Tour [Drift]  presented by N2O4 Entertainment.  The cold winter weather outside meant nothing once the concert got started. KARD's members BM, Jiwoo, J.Seph and Somin instantly heated up the Copernicus Center with multiple of their hits such as "Icky," "Oh Nana," "Hola Hola" and their title track off of the newest album Drift , "Touch." "Chi-Town, I love the vibe here" BM comments after seeing fans (Hidden KARD) match the energy of each song and feeling the music. The rapper then admitted that he slept up until a few minutes prior to getting on the stage but became fully awake because of the energy given by the crowd. "Chi-Town got me up!" BM gave it his all performing two of his solo songs "Freak" and "Ooh." His dancing and gestures, especially during the dance break, go...

In person concerts are starting to make their grand return in the United States after almost two full years. Many music enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for their favorites to take the stage again and for Miyavi fans that dream became a reality. Takamasa Ishihara, better known as Miyavi, is a 40-year-old Japanese singer-songwriter, actor and talented guitarist. He helped break the concert dry spell in North America with the Imaginary Tour which stopped in Chicago for two days at the Cobra Lounge on October 19th and 20th. The tour originally only had one concert scheduled for the windy city, however the show completely sold out and a second show got added.  Night two of the Chicago leg definitely proved to be the original sold out stop as the lines grew larger and larger as the day went on. Many fans were thankful for the weather being ideal for waiting outside as it isn't very common in the Chicagoland and Mid West area around this time of year. Before the doors opened for t...

The show kicks off with their debut title track "Bon Bon Chocolat." The upbeat song pulls fans (Forevers) to their feet to dance along with the six women on stage. During the chorus multiple hands are raised up, mimicking the choreography by touching their thumbs and middle fingers together. Sihyeon, Onda, E:U, Yiren, Mia and Aisha greet everyone as Everglow before each member takes turns introducing themselves. All of them admit that they are both nervous and excited to perform in Chicago. "We've prepared something extraordinary for you tonight" Onda says hinting at what to expect. Before moving on with the concert, the group requests for those in the audience to sit down in their seats. As fans comply, Everglow explains that it is to insure everyone stays safe so they can...
