As festival season is underway, one of the most highly anticipated festivals begins this Friday in Chicago—Spring Awakening Music Festival. In a matter of four short days, thousands will gather in the renowned Soldier Field with some of today’s big name artists in the industry for three full days. This is the third year React Presents has taken the festival scene by storm providing us with one of the most impressive lineups to date.
If headliners such as Diplo, Eric Prydz, Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Zedd, Zeds Dead and the Midwest debut of Jack U don’t sell you on this music festival I am not sure what will. With support acts such as Adventure Club, Brillz, Hucci, Oliver Heldens, Yellow Claw and many more, there is no room for disappointment. Spending hours perfecting my daily schedule, I am ready to take on this weekend.
Throughout the weekend there will be four consistent stages, the Main Stage, Equinox Stage, the Phoenix Stage and the Silent Disco. However the fifth stage, The Hanger, will be changing daily. Friday kicks off as the Trance Arena where you can get your dance on with artist such as MS54, Andrew Rayel and Cosmic Gate. Saturday it will then be the Bass Kitchen featuring Figure, Brillz, Bro Safari and Zomboy. Finally Sunday transforming into the Beatport Stage, you can catch Cajmere and MK and many more. Though the schedule overlaps may not be ideal, don’t fret because all of the stages are all within reasonable distance to make your day easier.
If you do happen to miss a set you were dying to see, Spring Awakening has scheduled plenty of after parties to give you that second chance you need. From Concord to The Mid and even on a Yacht these after parties range from $15-$140, with some being 18+ others 21+, you have many to choose from. Starting off Friday you can end your night with Mija, Martin Garrix, Tommy Trash or Eric Prydz. Saturday you can choose between Brillz, Eats Everything, Flosstradamus and recently added Skrillex. On Sunday you can conclude your Spring Awakening with Zeds Dead or Figure with one more after party yet to be released. With each night ending prior to midnight, keep on raging with these after parties.
There are still four days to still prepare, figure out your schedule by using the Spring Awakening App, check out the after parties and we will see you in Chicago this weekend for yet another fest!
