TINLEY PARK, Ill. - One of the Chicago area's most popular outdoor music venues is receiving a new name, again.

The Hollywood Casino Ampitheatre in Tinley Park will now be called Credit Union 1 Ampitheatre, Live Nation announced in a statement on Tuesday.

"We are amidst a historic time in live music as fans everywhere continue prioritizing concerts to connect and make lasting memories," said Live Nation Senior Vice President Andy Peikon. "We're thrilled the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre will be at the forefront of unforgettable live music moments for fans across the greater Chicago area with every show."
