AceShowbiz - Chance the Rapper has announced that Chicago legends Twista and rising star Young Roddo will join him for his Ravinia Festival debut this Saturday, August 8, at Hunter Pavilion in Highland Park. The all-Chicago lineup comes as Chance celebrates the 10th anniversary of his Grammy Award-winning mixtape, Coloring Book.

The performance, presented by Ravinia and WGCI, is set to begin at 7 p.m. with public gates opening at 5 p.m. Tickets are available now at Ravinia.org.
At just nine years old, Young Roddo has emerged as one of Chicago's newest viral artists following the release of "Bad Grades." Joining him is Twista, one of Chicago's most influential hip-hop artists, whose landmark releases Adrenaline Rush and Kamikaze, along with hits like "Slow Jamz" and "Overnight Celebrity," helped define the city's sound for a generation. Together with Chance, the lineup brings three generations of Chicago hip-hop to the Ravinia stage.

The show marks the 10th anniversary of Chance's groundbreaking 2016 mixtape, Coloring Book. Blending hip-hop, gospel, and soulful live instrumentation, the project featured collaborations with Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Kirk Franklin, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, and Saba, alongside production from longtime collaborators Nico Segal, Peter Cottontale, and The Social Experiment.

With Coloring Book, Chance became the first independent artist to win a Grammy with a streaming-only project, earning Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Performance for "No Problem" featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. The mixtape helped reshape conversations around streaming, artist independence, and what an independent release could accomplish.

The Ravinia performance also serves as Chance's final hometown show before launching The Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour on August 11 in Cleveland. The North American run includes stops in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and more before concluding October 11 in Pittsburgh.
Beyond music, Chance is the founder of SocialWorks, a Chicago nonprofit focused on youth empowerment, arts education, and civic engagement. Through initiatives such as OpenMike, Support CPS, and the New Chance Fund, the organization has invested more than $12 million in the city, providing opportunities and resources for the next generation.

As an independent rapper, entrepreneur, and community leader, Chance continues to shape modern hip-hop from Chicago to the global stage. His upcoming tour and Ravinia appearance underscore his enduring impact and the lasting legacy of Coloring Book.
