Oh, you thought summer festival lineup announcements were done? Not even. If you just so happen to be in Chicago in early June, might we point you in the direction of Heatwave Music Festival? Successfully launched last year by Auris Presents, Chicago’s leading force in live music events, Heatwave returns for its second iteration at a new home on the iconic lakefront of Northerly Island.
This year’s lineup is a stacked one. Featuring topline headliners like Tiësto, Kx5, GRiZ, Slander, Gryffin, and Malaa this is a great festival to dip your feet into whether you’re a first time raver or a veteran of the scene. There’s just as much going on in the second tier of headliners featuring diverse acts such as Deorro, Apashe, Nostalgix, Sidepiece, and a special A-Trak b2b VNSSA set.
A variety of to be announced visual artists and creatives will also take center stage in contributing immersive art installations that truly elevate Heatwave’s experience. The two day event at Northerly Island will be backdropped by views of Chicago’s iconic skyline and surrounded on all sides by Lake Michigan, an ideal location in the heart of the city, making it a can’t-miss staple of summer festival season.
