Leonid & Friends Take Chicago’s Greatest Hits Coast-to-Coast on Fall 2025 Tour

Leonid & Friends, the internationally acclaimed Chicago tribute band, is hitting the road once again with their biggest North American run to date. The 11-piece ensemble, known for their jaw-droppingly accurate recreations of Chicago’s greatest hits, launched their Fall 2025 tour today in Boston with a kickoff performance aboard the On The Blue Cruise: Forever Autumn. The weeklong voyage sets the stage for a coast-to-coast trek that will bring the band’s signature horn-driven sound to more than 20 states, culminating in their first-ever concerts in Hawaii this November.

The tour, aptly named the “2025 or 6 to 4” Tour, follows a sold-out spring run that introduced the band to Canadian audiences and saw venues across the U.S. packed to capacity. “We were overwhelmed by the love and energy on our spring dates, and we can’t wait to do it again – even bigger this fall,” said founder Leonid Vorobyev, who recently became a Grammy voting member. “Touring across North America to share this music we love is a dream come true.”

What began as a Moscow-based studio project has transformed into a global phenomenon. Leonid & Friends first captured worldwide attention with note-perfect YouTube covers of Chicago classics, earning millions of views and even recognition from members of Chicago themselves. Today, with more than 1.2 million followers across social media and over 300 million video views, the band has become a touring powerhouse celebrated for its precision musicianship, lush vocal harmonies, and infectious stage presence.

Audiences can expect to relive Chicago’s timeless anthems like “25 or 6 to 4,” “Make Me Smile,” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” along with surprise selections from the group’s expanding repertoire of ’70s rock and soul favorites. The setlist now includes hits from Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and others, making each performance more than a tribute concert—it’s a full celebration of the era’s most iconic sounds.

This fall’s itinerary is the most ambitious in the band’s history. For the first time, Leonid & Friends will perform in Louisiana, New Mexico, and Utah before wrapping up with a four-show finale at Blue Note Hawaii in Honolulu. With demand at an all-time high and several dates already sold out, fans are urged to secure tickets early.

In response to overwhelming enthusiasm, Leonid & Friends are also extending their momentum into next year. The group has unveiled a slate of 2026 concerts spanning Florida, the South, and the Northeast, with more dates expected. Among the stops are Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, and multiple Pennsylvania shows, ensuring fans nationwide will have a chance to experience their electrifying live show.

From viral video sensation to international touring juggernaut, Leonid & Friends’ rise underscores the timeless appeal of Chicago’s music and the power of live performance. Their journey reflects not only extraordinary musical talent but also the ability to connect audiences across generations. As their coast-to-coast schedule unfolds this fall and stretches into 2026, one thing is clear: the music of Chicago is alive, well, and thriving in the hands of Leonid & Friends.
