Chicago is a phenomenal place to live for live music, no matter what time of year it is. It can be so easy to forget this fact, however, as the thermometer displays lower temperatures and we all bundle up for the long haul.

There are several concerts this month, though, that will make the effort to go out worth the cold, bringing just about every big name music act to the city. Chicago is going to be inundated by young pop stars and their dance music, maybe you should make the trek out to see a show!

The tracks on this list are guaranteed to get you moving, no matter what you're doing this weekend. Let them be your soundtrack for work, work out, errands, or lounging.

The songs are in order of which show the artists will be performing, and which shows are coming up first. We start off tonight with several shows, including tonight's B96 Jingle Bash, and we rock all the way until the Nightmare After Christmas show on December 27.

Also, look for artists who'll play The Miracle on State Street and KissFM Jingle Ball.

Get jamming now.
