Limp Bizkit brings the Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival to Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL on Saturday, July 18, with Day 1 kicking off at 1:00 PM CT. It’s an all-outdoor amphitheatre show, so the sky is as much a part of the day as the setlist — and Saturday’s forecast means you’ll want to plan ahead.
What the Weather Looks Like
The National Weather Service is calling for a high near 91°F, mostly sunny early with a 28% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 PM — right around set time. Wind stays moderate at 10 to 15 mph out of the west, which will help some, but with heat like this the air is still going to feel heavy by mid-afternoon.
Bottom line: hot and humid to start, with a real chance storms roll through as the day goes on. Dress in light, breathable layers, and don’t leave the car without a plan for both sun and rain.
What to Wear and Bring
With highs near 91°F, sun protection is non-negotiable. Pack SPF 50 sport sunscreen and reapply — you’ll be out for hours before Limp Bizkit even takes the stage. A bandana face cover dipped in water is an easy way to cool down between sets without waiting in a long merch line for one.
Stay hydrated all day with a hydration backpack — Tinley Park venues get strict on bag policies, so check ahead on what’s allowed. Speaking of bags, a clear stadium bag is your safest bet for getting through security fast, since most amphitheatres only allow clear bags of a certain size.
Footwear matters too. You’ll be on your feet on pavement and grass in 91°F heat, so comfortable walking sandals beat anything closed-toe today.
Because that 28% storm chance lands right during the show, toss a packable rain jacket in your bag. It folds down small enough to not take up space, and you’ll be glad to have it if thunderstorms roll through the amphitheatre.
Rep the Show
It’s a Limp Bizkit day — rep your fandom with a Limp Bizkit t-shirt at the merch stand once you’re inside.
Practical Tips for the Day
- Arrive early. With a 1 PM start and a hot afternoon ahead, get to Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre with time to park and clear security before the heat peaks.
- Charge up beforehand, and bring a portable phone charger 20000mah so you’re not stuck with a dead phone if storms cause any delays.
- Watch the sky. With storms possible after 1 PM, know the venue’s weather policy — outdoor amphitheatres typically pause shows for lightning, so build in flexibility.
The Takeaway
Saturday’s mix of 91°F heat and a real afternoon storm chance means Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Day 1 calls for double duty packing: sunscreen and hydration for the heat, a rain jacket in case the sky opens up. Pack smart, stay cool, and get ready for Limp Bizkit.
