Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen will lead a bill of music heavyweights in Chicago on Tuesday 18 June, as Barack Obama formally opens the Obama Presidential Center on the city's South Side, the Obama Foundation has confirmed.

Jackie Kostek is observing dignitaries arriving at 63rd Street and Stony Island Avenue, while Darius Johnson is watching people amass for a watch party on the Midway Plaisance for the grand opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center.
