NASCAR will have its Chicago Street Race this summer, and Zac Brown Band will be there for a big concert. On Monday, NASCAR announced that Zac Brown Band will headline the 2025 Chicago Street Race. The band will perform at the new Busch Light Summer Series Stage next to the Chicago Street Race Start/Finish line. The performance will take place after NASCAR’s Xfinity Series race on Saturday, July 5.

“We’re thrilled to announce that Zac Brown Band will be performing at this summer’s NASCAR Chicago Street Race,” band leader Zac Brown said in a press release. “It’s going to be an unreal weekend of racing and non-stop entertainment, so buckle up. You won’t want to miss NASCAR’s biggest party of the summer. Can’t wait to see you all in July!”

“At Busch Light, our Midwest fans are at the heart of everything we do, so bringing one of the biggest bands in country to a race in the iconic Midwest city of Chicago was a no-brainer,” said Kyrstyn Stowe, Head of Marketing, Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch. “With NASCAR, we’re shifting fan engagement into high gear, uniting two of race fans’ greatest passions: country music and cold, smooth Busch Light.”

“Zac’s music is the soundtrack to summer, so we can’t think of a better band to headline on Independence Day Weekend,” said Julie Giese, President, NASCAR Chicago Street Race. “Between the incredible skyline and the pristine shores of Lake Michigan, Zac Brown Band will make for one of the most iconic concert experiences of the summer, without a doubt.”
