This summer, Lincoln Park's Grove 2 is set to turn into a lakeside dance floor when the Lakeshore Arts & Music Festival brings a two-day house music bash to Chicago's lakefront on June 19–20. Organizers are pitching the new event as an adults-only weekend that mixes curated DJ sets, immersive art, and a vendor village on the stretch of grass along Lake Michigan.
The festival, billed as Lakeshore Arts & Music Festival, is scheduled for June 19–20 at Lincoln Park Grove 2 at 1735 N. Stockton Drive and is promoting a fully electronic lineup with roughly 20 nationally known artists alongside a slate of Chicago DJs, according to Fever. The festival is teasing games and brand activations, and for now, is keeping the full lineup under wraps while fans add their names to a ticket waitlist.
Tickets, times, and access
The ticketing page on Fever currently shows a waitlist and says public tickets go on sale April 7 at 10 a.m. CST, with general admission prices set to start near $59. The listing gives daily hours as 2:00 to 10:00 p.m., confirms the location as Lincoln Park Grove #2 at 1735 N. Stockton Drive, and notes the event is 18-plus and ADA accessible.
What to expect on the grounds
On-site, attendees can expect two stages built around house-focused DJ sets, immersive art installations, a vendor village serving local bites, and branded activations spread across the grounds, according to Secret Chicago. Organizers are also advertising VIP and cabana tiers for anyone who wants a reserved or shaded perch just off the main dance area.
Where it fits on Chicago's summer calendar
The new lakeside entry drops into an already packed summer music calendar. Axios has noted that both returning and first-time festivals are stacking up across late spring and early summer. Larger multi-day productions such as the Sueños Music Festival, scheduled for May 23–24 at Grant Park, are already competing for Memorial Day and shoulder weekend budgets, which could shape how far fans stretch their festival dollars.
The waitlist for Lakeshore Arts & Music Festival is live now, and presale details, along with final set times, are expected to appear on the event page as organizers lock in the lineup, according to Fever. This post will be updated as the full roster and any city permitting notes are released.
