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.
