The tentative dates have been announced for Chicago’s heritage outdoor music festival known as Jamboree: Saturday, September 1st and Sunday, September 2nd.
This two day outdoor festival of all things alternative has been held in Chicago since 1995.

The 2012 lineup for Jamboree has not been announced yet, but the Official Facebook Fanpage for Jamboree and Event page for Jamboree 2012 encourages fans to subscribe to Q101′s Youtube Channel (http://youtube.Q101.com).
