I also wish to have my face melted off by Hawkwind in North American in the year 2014, and have been monitoring this site
http://www.hawkwind.com to see if they post any NA dates. UK and EU only so far. Somewhere on there they say not to buy any tickets for shows not listed on their sites. Who knows what kind of managerial wackiness is involved. What site are you getting the Chicago date from?
