Leonid & Friends in Phoenix

Leonid & Friends are a Chicago tribute band originally formed in Moscow, gaining widespread attention through viral YouTube covers. Their live performances replicate the full brass and vocal arrangements of Chicago's catalog, with a rotating lineup of musicians from Russia and neighboring countries.

Since their first US tour in 2019, the band has become a staple on American stages, often including covers of Earth, Wind & Fire and Steely Dan in their sets. Fans can expect an energetic show that honors the classic rock and soul sound of the 1970s.

This Phoenix concert is part of their 2026 Make Me Smile Tour, bringing their internationally acclaimed tribute to a new audience.
