You may remember just a while back, Spring Awakening Music Festival didn’t have a home. React Presents hustled, struggled, and grinded to make sure that the festival’s 5th anniversary wouldn’t be spoiled. They did just that! The festival is now moving from Jackson Park to Addams/Medill Park, located in University Village / Little Italy. With that, comes an aggressive lineup that provides way too many amazing names. There are 2 branded stages each day, and silent disco stage while the other two providing headliners for days. I can list a few: Above and Beyond, Borgore, The Chainsmokers, Kaskade, Deadmau5, A-Trak, Rezz, Gramatik, and many more! The branded stages are just as good with artists such as Bear Grillz, Alison Wonderland, Claude VonStroke, Cosmic Gate, Green Velvet, and many more.
The Branded Stages will be by Birdhouse, All Gone Pete Tong, and DJ Mag along with veteran stages, Body Language, Trance Arena, and Bass Kitchen. Chicago really knows how to really go hard. This is a festival that will easily top 2016 with everything they have. 5 years down and they’re showing what festival is the best despite the issues getting it here. Jeff Callahan, the founder of Spring Awakening Music Festival had this to say about working diligently to get a new location.
The process of orchestrating a festival of this size within the city of Chicago is staggering. We care very much about the communities in which we look to hold these events, and work closely with city officials to ensure that they run smoothly. Therefore, this required us to reassess Spring Awakening’s location to find something that’s a better fit. We worked very hard to find a new home for Spring Awakening in a very short amount of time, and would like to thank our fans for their patience and unconditional support.
Addams/Medill Park is only within a short walk of the CTA Pink Line trains at the 18th Street and Polk Street stops, as well as the Blue Line trains at the Racine stop. It is also accessible from the Ashland, Roosevelt, and 18th St CTA buses.
