North Coast Music Festival returns to Illinois from September 2nd through the 4th. In the past, the event has had some amazing installations and killer lineups. For those attending, you are in for one wild ride! North Coast Music Festival is more than just music, the festival focuses on bringing everyone together and into its own world.
Event and Lineup
The event is located at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL right outside downtown Chicago. The stadium includes seven full fields with padded turf. There will be five different stages for attendees to get lost in. This year the festival will have multiple art installations and performers running around, so don’t be afraid to explore and say hi.
Guests will get to see performances from Subtronics, Armin Van Buuren, Gryffin, Level Up, Illenium, Jai Wolf, Slander, Yotto, and Porter Robinson to name a few. Ophelia Records is coming in and taking over this festival. Seven Lions, Jason Ross, Mitis, Trivecta, Wooli, Gem, and Tauri will be performing as well. I highly recommend finding time to go see those on Ophelia Records, you won’t regret it.

Travel
North Coast Music Festival has many options for your stay in Illinois. If you like to camp there are two different campgrounds available. Camp Bullfrog Lake and Camp Sullivan. The festival itself is not affiliated with these campsites but has partnered with them to provide options for guests. You can find more information on the website to book the campground and request a shuttle service here. There are numerous hotels too that have partnered with the festival to make the lodging process easier, which you can also find information about on the website.
If you're flying in to go to the festival we recommend you fly into Chicago. The festival itself is in Bridgeview, which is about an hour's drive South from the Chicago O'Hare International Airport. You could stay in Downtown Chicago if you wanted to, but just be aware that it's about an hour away from there as well.
