Ravinia, the nation’s oldest outdoor music festival site, features a beautiful pavilion and sprawling lawn. Those who purchase lawn tickets are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, tables, blankets and coolers with your own food and beverage. In other words, this won’t be your typical Umphrey’s McGee experience. Umphrey’s made their Ravinia debut last summer. Check out our coverage of the show here.

Umphrey’s has been joined on stage by Chicago Mass Choir twice -on December 31, 2008 and November 26, 2011. Watch the amazing “Glory”/”Amazing Grace” mash-up from November 26, 2011:
