Summary
Chicago’s Ultimate 90s Throwback Experience!
Run Forrest Run is your ultimate answer to all things 90s! With today’s radio stations dominated by endless pop and R&B hits, sometimes you just want to rewind to the “good old days” of music. And we don’t mean last year—we’re talking about a full-on time warp back to when you were playing Pokémon on your Game Boy, jumping out of your skin when your Furby suddenly came to life in the middle of the night, or staying up late with a stack of Goosebumps books by your side. Think sour Warheads, your trusty Walkman, and rushing to your best friend’s house to trade pogs before dinner. Those memories, those sounds, and that nostalgia are exactly what Run Forrest Run brings to life.
The 90s was a generation filled with energy, fun, and unforgettable music, and that’s what we’re here to celebrate. Run Forrest Run is more than just a band—we’re your time machine back to an era that shaped us all. From the hits that made you sing at the top of your lungs to the songs that still get you dancing, we pour our love for the 90s into every performance. Our mission is simple: to bring you the same joy this decade has brought us, and to keep the 90s alive as the best tribute around Chicago.
