Organizers for the Windy City Smokeout have revealed the fifth and final headliner for the popular music and barbecue festival.
The event, held each year in the parking lots surrounding the United Center in Chicago, brings together high-profile country artists and some of the biggest names on the city’s barbecue scene.
After announcing a group of headliners earlier this year, the Windy City Smokeout’s Facebook page revealed that country star Blake Shelton will headline the final day of the festival, which kicks off on July 8, 2026.
In addition, single-day wristbands for the event went on sale this week, with organizers urging those interested in attending to act quickly before they sell out.
Previously, it was announced that Treaty Oak Revival would headline the Wednesday of the event,
