Leonid & Friends 2026 Tour in Seattle

Leonid & Friends, a Moscow-based tribute band dedicated to the music of Chicago, brings their acclaimed show to Seattle as part of their 2026 Make Me Smile Tour. Known for their viral YouTube videos, the 11-member ensemble faithfully recreates the intricate horn-driven sound of Chicago, drawing from a repertoire that also includes covers of Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Steely Dan. Fans can expect a high-energy performance that captures the spirit of classic rock and soul.

The band was founded by multi-instrumentalist Leonid Vorobyev, who began posting Chicago covers on YouTube in 2014. Their videos quickly garnered millions of views, leading to sold-out tours across the United States. In 2019, original Chicago drummer Danny Seraphine even joined them on stage. The band's dedication to musical authenticity and showmanship has made them a favorite among tribute concertgoers.
