Billy Strings Rocks Allstate Arena: A Recap of His Electrifying Two-Night Run in Rosemont

Billy Strings recently performed at Allstate Arena for a two-show run in Rosemont, following his collaboration with Widespread Panic at The Chicago Theatre. During the concerts, Strings surprised the audience with unexpected song choices, including a rare Led Zeppelin cover. The second set of the second night featured Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks," making it the eighth time Strings had played the song and the first time in over a year. He also incorporated elements of "The Ocean" into "Doin' Things Right" before closing the set with "On The Southbound," which hadn't been played in over a year.

The first set of the second night included a solo segment by Strings, starting with "Lonely At The Top" and continuing with a solo rendition of "John Henry," last performed in 2023. He then switched to the banjo for a solo performance of "Country Blues" and was joined by Billy Failing for "Dos Banjos." The standout moments of the Friday show came in the second set, with the first performance of Darol Anger's "Key Signator" since 2023 and the encore opening with "In Tall Buildings," a John Hartford song that hadn't been played since 2022.
