NORTHERLY ISLAND — Heatwave Music Festival will return to Chicago for its second year, featuring a star-studded electronic dance music lineup in a new location.
Heatwave is June 10-11 at Northerly Island. Kx5, one of the headliners, features Chicago legend Kaskade and deadmau5. Other headliners include GRiZ, Slander, and Tiësto. Scroll down to see the full lineup.
Two-day passes start at $169 for general admission and are on sale now.


The two-day festival was moved to the lakefront from Douglass Park in North Lawndale after West Siders repeatedly protested the number of private shows taking over the public park during the summer.
Festival organizers did not explain the move.
“After a successful debut in 2022, Heatwave will return to Chicago this June 10-11 at its new home on the iconic lakefront of Northerly Island to further cement its status as the city’s newest immersive art and music gem, built on a foundation of experiential art and world-class electronic music,” the organizers said in a statement.
Heatwave is led Auris Presents, which operates Chicago venues RADIUS, Concord Music Hall, PRYSM and more.
