The future is blindingly bright for Chicago's North Coast Music Festival, which took over the Windy City during a Labor Day weekend that ravers soon forget.
As the last vestiges of Chi-town summer began to fade, we were on the ground at this year’s event, which brought in the highest attendance numbers in the festival’s history. 90,000 attendees danced day and night for three days at SeatGeek Stadium, as well as North Coast’s full-field practice dome and several intermediate fields.
The place became an oasis of electronic beats and psychedelic visuals, a playground for adventurous adults. And there was not a single blind spot: practically everywhere you went, the bass boomed like the roar of Lake Michigan during a storm.
Seven laser-lit stages spanning days featured performances from Subtronics, Above & Beyond, ILLENIUM, Seven Lions and many more, not to mention b2b sets from artists including ISOKNOCK (ISOxo and Knock2), LSZEE (LSDDREAM and CloZee), Tchami and Malaa (No Redemption) and Dabin and Said The Sky (Dab The Sky).
Organizers are already planning to level up in 2025 and fans can sign up for the pre-sale waiting list. hereIn the meantime, check out our list of five things you missed this year below.
