With their new greatest hits collection, Hits To The Head, having been released earlier this year, Franz Ferdinand used their Aug. 19, 2022 stop at The Vic Theatre in Chicago to share fan favorite singles spanning their incredible career.

The group – Alex Kapranos (vocals, guitar), Bob Hardy (bass), Dino Bardot (guitar), Julian Corrie (keys), Audrey Tait (drums) – revisited their very first hit single, “Darts of Pleasure,” which debuted on the airwaves in 2003, early in the night. “Love Illumination,” “Billy Goodbye” and “Walk Away” soon followed. Kapranos took time out to show his appreciation for fans, as well as the local alternative radio station, Q101, for supporting the band before sharing even more crowd-pleasers on the setlist like “Evil Eye,” and “Do You Want To.”
