Chance The Rapper has been all about surprises recently, gearing up for his “Magnificent Coloring World Tour” by showing up unannounced at two music festivals in his hometown of Chicago: on the Lollapalooza stage during Future’s set on Friday (July 29) and at the Pitchfork Music Festival with Jeremih earlier this month.
Today (July 31), he announced a short-notice gift to his hometown fans — a surprise show at the city’s Metro venue.

Chicago fans will get another shot to see Chance on September 24 when he takes over U.S. Cellular Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox. That show will feature Lil Wayne, Young Thug, John Legend, Alicia Keys and more.
