That brings the possibility for confusion with another big area concert hall: the basketball and music venue at the University of Illinois Chicago, which has been called the Credit Union 1 Arena since 2018.

In Tinley Park, the sponsorship by the not-for-profit financial cooperative is the latest rebranding of a facility that opened in 1990 as the World Music Theatre. It became the New World Music Theatre in 1995 and then, as sponsors stepped in, the Tweeter Center in 2001 and the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in 2006 before the casino took over in 2015.

The Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre seats more than 28,000 people, and over its 32-year run has presented superstar acts including Paul McCartney, Jay Z, Celine Dion and Elton John.

Its next season will open with Janet Jackson on May 27.
