Korpiklaani returned to the greater Chicagoland area less than a year since their last show. This time opting to play at The Outset in Chicago after that previous May 3, 2024 show in Joliet at The Forge. In recent years, Korpiklaani had greatly reduced their number of bouncy “party” songs in their set opting instead to play more of slower, deeper material. These songs are great in their own right, but lots of fans that were coming out for the drinking and partying had made comments that they missed that side of Korpiklaani. This tour, or at least on this show, Korpiklaani opted to return to a greater mix of the party songs and there was definite pleasure amongst the crowds demonstrated heavily in the pit by circles of fans doing interlocked kick lines and dancing. All in all a great show.
