Just announced: Spinal Tap to (acoustically) rock the Chicago Theatre in May
Article Tools
Fictional hair band Spinal Tap—the brainchild of improv masters Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer—has appeared all over the place since the 1984 "rockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap: They've played Saturday Night Live, been drawn into a Simpsons episode, and even played a 2007 reunion show in London. Plus, the actors behind the band cleaned up their looks to front another fake trio, The Folksmen, for 2003's A Mighty Wind.
But for the first time, these comics will take the stage as themselves, reprising hits from both films, unplugged. The appropriately named "Unwigged And Unplugged Tour" is hitting 30 cities this spring, making a stop at the Chicago Theatre May 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster—and given the insane cult following the films enjoy, they'll probably go quickly.
Given its acoustic nature, expect this concert to go up to seven or so:
