About Necropolis Festival Grounds

Situated on Northerly Island in Chicago, the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island—historically known as the FirstMerit Bank Pavilion and today often referenced as the Huntington Bank Pavilion—offers an iconic outdoor concert experience with a capacity of up to ~30,000 attendees. This venue hosts a variety of performances from pop and rock to festivals, with seating options that include Lawn GA, 100-level reserved, 200-level reserved, and VIP areas. As you plan your trip, you’ll find practical details on seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining choices to streamline your visit.

Note: Expedia may list a Necropolis Festival Grounds at this location, but the official venue name is Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island. For event listings, we reference the Huntington Bank Pavilion while keeping Necropolis as a misnomitation seen in some sources.

Accessibility and logistics come first here: secure your seats in the format that suits you, whether it’s the expansive Lawn GA for festival vibes or the comfort of reserved seats in the 100- or 200-level sections. If you’re driving, use the Adler Planetarium Lot, North Garage, or East Museum Lot, with VIP parking in the Adler Lot for premium proximity. If you prefer public transit, Roosevelt Station serves as the closest CTA hub on the Red, Green, and Orange lines. After the show, explore nearby dining and hotels in Chicago’s vibrant River North and Museum Campus areas. We’ve got you covered with reliable, straightforward ticketing and insider tips to ensure a smooth, stress-free concert night.
