Evidence note (master store)

The B96 Pepsi SummerBash is the annual summer concert of Chicago Top 40 station B96 (96.3 FM, WBBM, then CBS Radio), first held in 1992 (Gapers Block). Venues rotate in the Chicago area: the 2011 and 2012 editions were at Toyota Park in Bridgeview; stored note 'Rosemont' reflects a later Allstate Arena era and is not the festival's sole home.
