Here's what some of Chicago Open Air's top artists have to say about playing the festival:

Corey Taylor (STONE SOUR): "We are beyond stoked to be a part of Chicago Open Airleave the surfboards at home). See ya there!"

Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents, said: "Walking through the site last year, I saw people from all over the world. Different ages, different races — people celebrating rock culture.

"When curating the 2017 version of Chicago Open Air, we wanted to find that balance for everyone who attends the festival. From iconic artists like OZZY, KISS, KORN and SLAYER to ROB ZOMBIE, GODSMACK and STONE SOUR to AMON AMARTH, MESHUGGAH and BEHEMOTH. If you are a rock fan, this is a must-see experience."
