North Coast Music Festival is on its way back to the Chicagoland area for its 14th year, and we’re so excited to see some of our favorites! Taking place August 30th through September 1st at Seatgeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL, the festival is set to have its largest year yet. Complete with an immense seven stages, hosting a broad lineup of artists, as well as an extensive collection of art installations, the festival’s attendees are in for a phenomenal experience.
The dazzling three-day festival includes powerhouse headliners such as Illenium, Above & Beyond, and Alan Walker. We’re excited to see popular artists like Seven Lions, Slander, Diesel, and Sullivan King, but let’s take a look at some of the newer artists on the NCMF scene. Make sure to take a break from the heat this Labor Day weekend to go see their sets!
TOMBZ
Bringing a bit of dark house to the festival scene, this Milwaukee artist is one we don’t want to miss. Known for an immersive mood that creates entire experiences for their listeners, Tombz is set to play day two of the festival. Be sure to head over to the Club Coast stage to hear their latest single “That’s What’s Up.”
PATRICK COLES
This Florida artist, who’s been releasing quite a handful of singles in 2024, brings a fresh and fast paced sound. Patrick Coles has an uplifting and euphoric sound, perfectly matched to the exhilarating festival experience. 2024 singles “Hypnotize,” “Falling 4 U,” and “Break A Sweat” are ones we can’t wait to add to our festival memories list! See you at the silent disco.
MAX WAGNER
New to North Coast but definitely not to Chicago, local house artist Max Wagner is set to bring a punchy, fast, and uplifted summertime vibe into the festival this year. Grab some friends and catch Max at the Shipyard on day two. His enthusiastic and popular presence around the Chicago scene is sure to bring your Labor Day weekend to the next level.
CAPOZZI
The Shipyard stage is due for an amazing performance by electronic artist Capozzi. Known for her collaboration with artists like Tchami, this girl is no stranger to the electronic scene. Her rounded dark electro mix between techno and spacey samples, sets up her own sound. Be sure to catch her on day two.
RAVENSCOON
Electronic force of nature Paul Conversano is set to play the Vega stage at North Coast this year, and there are several hits of his we can’t wait to catch. Having a reputation for combining many different genres (dubstep, trance, rap, DnB, etc.) in a seamless blend that reaches vast audiences, North Coast is blessed to have the sounds of Ravenscoon on day two. Ravenscoon sets are known for being enticingly experimental, and we can’t wait to experience it with you.
