CHEVELLE LIVE!! | REDHAT
Coverage by Chris Sturk
Chevelle Rocks a Packed Red Hat Amphitheater
Chevelle delivered a powerful performance to a packed house of energized fans at the Red Hat Amphitheater. The atmosphere was energized as the band took the stage, proving once again why they’ve remained a staple in the rock scene for over two decades.
Formed in 1995 in Grayslake, Illinois, Chevelle has released ten studio albums, carving out a distinct sound that blends heavy riffs with introspective lyrics. I first discovered their music in the early 2000s during college, when their breakout hit “The Red” from the album Wonder What’s Next dominated rock radio and became a fixture on MTV. That track marked a turning point for the band, introducing their sound to a wider audience and solidifying their place in modern rock.
Over the years, Chevelle has toured with legendary acts like Sevendust, Machine Head, and Filter, and performed at major festivals including Ozzfest. Their first headlining tour in 2003 was met with great success, and they’ve continued to tour ever since, with a loyal fanbase that shows no signs of fading.
At the Red Hat Amphitheater, Chevelle’s performance was tight and dynamic. Massive panels behind the band projected vivid lighting effects and video, adding a visual punch to their already intense sound. The band sounded fantastic, delivering a set that was both nostalgic and fresh.
Chevelle remains a force in rock music, and their live show is a testament to their enduring appeal. Great band, great show.
