Heatwave Festival is coming to Douglass Park in Chicago this upcoming weekend, and we can’t wait to see these artists and more from July 16-17.
Heatwave Festival from Auris Presents is celebrating its first edition at Chicago’s Douglass Park this upcoming weekend! With headliners like Above & Beyond, RL Grime, Tiesto, and Zeds Dead, the inaugural Heatwave Festival will be a weekend to remember in Chicago.
The festival’s hours are from 2 PM-10 PM each day with three stages of music going for the full eight hours. Heatwave is successfully filling the void left from Spring Awakening Music Festival as is the new #1 summer EDM festival in the Windy City.
