Trey Songz’s fans started arriving at Chicago’s Grant Park the moment it opened at 11 a.m. Thursday.

His concert wasn’t scheduled until 7 p.m. It didn’t matter to these fans. These young teen and pre-teen female fans had to get there early to get the best seat possible at the free, first-come, first-served concert.

They leaped out of their seats and screamed at the top of their lungs the moment he walked out on stage and broke into I Need A Girl. And they screamed even louder (if that’s possible) when he pulled off his shirt
on his sensual hit, Neighbors Know My Name. Before the night was over, he’d delivered a generous selection of his hits including I Gotta Make It, Black Roses and Jupiter Love.

The R&B hearththrob’s set, one of the most anticipated concerts at the Taste of Chicago this year, attracted an estimated crowd of about 35,000 people.-JET
