Rise Against
About This Event
Chicago punk band Rise Against, formed in 1999 and led by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Tim McIlrath with Zach Blair, Joe Principe and Brandon Barnes, bring bright melodic lines and fast, hard-edged rhythms rooted in punk and hardcore. Their lyrics often address politics, animal rights and social concerns; at The Rooftop at Pier 17 they present that direct, high-tempo approach where momentum matters more than spectacle.
