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.

It’s a vibrant technicolor wonderland where fans can dance to the sounds of globally leading dance music from the scene’s most celebrated artists. 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.

Additional highlights include scene veterans like chart-topping producer Deorro, the enigmatic masked DJ and producer Malaa, in-demand collaborators Whethan and Elephante, Swiss-Italian stalwart EDX, forward-thinking Australian export Luude, and four on the floor house hitter Noizu. Internationally renowned graffiti artist and DJ Alec Monopoly is also set to make an appearance.

The bill is rounded out by up-and-comers such as The Sponges, TWINSICK, Zingara, NOTD, and Automhate.
