About this show

The National brings the First Two Pages of Frankenstein Tour routing to Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL on Friday, July 24, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a open-air stadium (41,600-seat), which sits at the stadium-scale end of the room sizes on this tour. Independent and alternative artists tend to favor mid-size theaters and ballrooms over arena environments, which keeps the audience-to-stage relationship more direct.

The First Two Pages of Frankenstein Tour routing builds on The National's catalog (the act traces its origin to Cincinnati, OH) and draws on the act's most recent body of work. Setlists often include unreleased material being workshopped on the road; recording is usually permitted but flash photography is not.

Production design has been carried consistently across the tour, with minor deviations for venue ceiling height.

Doors typically open ninety minutes before the printed start time at this venue.

Rideshare drop-off zones are clearly marked but often back up after the show; a four-block walk to a side street tends to be the fastest exit strategy.

Verified-resale prices for this routing have hovered close to face value at most stops, with floor sections trading at the highest premium.

ADA seating is available throughout the venue; advance request via the box office is recommended at least a week before the show.

Merch lines at the front-of-house stand can run twenty to forty minutes during set breaks; the side-stand near the lobby is usually faster.

Tickets, official venue policies, and any updated start times should be confirmed via Wrigley Field's box office on the day of the show. Additional openers will be announced closer to the date.
