Limp Bizkit Brings Summer of ‘99 and Beyond to Tinley Park — Here’s Your Weather Game Plan
Day 1 of the Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival hits Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL on Saturday, July 18, at 1:00 PM CT, with Limp Bizkit headlining an outdoor show that’s all about the heat, the crowd energy, and — this time — a little sky drama too.
What the Weather Looks Like
The National Weather Service is calling for a high near 88°F, mostly sunny skies, and a 24% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Wind will run 10 to 15 mph out of the southwest, so it won’t be still, but it also won’t be a washout. The forecast is officially “Slight Chance Showers And Thunderstorms” — translation: pack for sun, but don’t get caught off guard if a pop-up storm rolls through during the set.
What to Wear
With highs near 88°F and sun expected for most of the day, breathable, lightweight clothing is the move — think tank tops, shorts, and moisture-wicking fabrics. On your feet, comfortable walking sandals will save you from blisters after standing through a full amphitheatre lineup. Just keep in mind the 24% storm chance means the ground could get slick if rain does show up, so make sure whatever you wear can handle a quick soak.
Beat the Sun, Prep for the Pit
An 88-degree afternoon in direct sun adds up fast, especially once you’re packed in for a Limp Bizkit set. Slather on SPF 50 sport sunscreen before you leave and reapply — sweat and crowd contact wear it off quicker than you’d think. A hydration backpack is one of the smartest things you can bring; it keeps water on you hands-free through the whole show, which matters more with temps near 90°F. And since your phone is going to be working overtime for photos and texting your crew in the crowd, toss in a portable phone charger 20000mah so you’re not dead by the encore.
Getting In and What to Bring
Aim to arrive with plenty of buffer before the 1:00 PM CT start — outdoor amphitheatre lots fill up, and you’ll want time to park and walk in without rushing. Many amphitheatres run clear-bag policies for security, so a clear stadium bag is a safe bet to keep your essentials on you without holdups at the gate.
If the Storms Show Up
A 24% chance isn’t a guarantee, but it’s not nothing either — especially with wind already gusting 10-15 mph. A packable rain jacket stuffed in your bag weighs almost nothing and means a passing shower won’t send you running for cover or missing a song. Better to have it and not need it.
Rep the Tour
Day 1 with Limp Bizkit headlining is the kind of show fans plan their whole summer around — get there early, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on the sky. Between the sun and the slight storm chance, a little prep goes a long way toward making sure the only thing you’re thinking about is the music.
