While we patiently wait for Lupe Fiasco to release his next album -- mid-December, we hope, we hope! -- at least we're getting a semi-regular dose of him playing live around town! He continues the trend of not forgetting his home base with a concert at the Congress Theater on October 29.

We've seen Lupe play a few times and that man throws himself into his shows in a way rarely seen. Full bands, acrobatic flips, killer delivery, and a sharp eye for stylish visuals all come together to create something that feels more like a Jame Brown revival than a modern hip-hop show.

Luckily for you we have a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky reader, so enter for your chance to win after the jump! The contest ends Friday, October 2 at 5 p.m. C.S.T.

And if you don't win, don't fret, there are still tickets available.

Lupe Fiasco plays October 29 at The Congress Theater, 2135 N Milwaukee, 7 p.m., $30, all ages
