ANTHEM: The Ultimate Classic Rock Experience & Styx Tribute
Welcome to the Main Stage.
Established in 2014, ANTHEM (originally known as And Beyond) isn’t just a cover band—it’s an all-live, high-octane musical experience that redefines the classic rock tribute. We bring the arena-rock atmosphere straight to festivals, theaters, and major venues across the Midwest, delivering the soundtrack of generations with zero tracks and 100% live energy.
From the complex harmonies of Styx and Queen to the powerhouse anthems of Bon Jovi, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Led Zeppelin, and Van Halen, ANTHEM covers the absolute pinnacle of rock history.
Two Incredible Shows, One Legendary Band
Whether you are looking for a definitive classic rock journey or a deep-dive theatrical tribute, we deliver:
- Classic Rock & Beyond: A versatile, arena-packed setlist featuring massive hits from Whitesnake, Rush, Foreigner, Kansas, Aerosmith, and Triumph. Every show is designed for maximum audience participation and non-stop energy.
- Anthem’s Grand Illusion: Our premier, critically acclaimed tribute to the music of Styx. From the sweeping progressive masterpiece of “Suite Madame Blue” to the crowd-rearing rock of “Renegade” and “Blue Collar Man,” we recreate the definitive Styx concert experience with flawless execution.
Proven Drawing Power
The numbers speak for themselves. With a collective resume spanning more than two decades entertaining massive crowds, ANTHEM quickly solidified its position as one of the top-drawing classic rock acts in the Chicago area. In our first six years alone, we headlined over 80 major events annually, and we continue to expand our reach to packed summer festivals, autumn fests, and premier indoor showrooms.
