CHICAGO — North Coast Music Festival announced the first round of artists playing their September festival, with an eclectic mix of electronic, rock and hip hop acts on the bill so far this year.
The festival returns to Union Park for its seventh year over Labor Day weekend. This year's headliners include DJ and producer Bassnectar, a veteran performer at North Coast, along with ZEDD and ODESZA, keeping with the trend of a heavy dose of electronic artists at the top of the festival's bill.
Other notable acts set to perform during the three-day event include Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, GROUPLOVE, Sleigh Bells, Action Bronson (returning to North Coast after a blistering set in 2014), Keys & Krates and The Claypool Lennon Delirium, a new project from Les Claypool of Primus and Sean Lennon.
More acts are set to be announced in the coming months. General admission and VIP passes are available to purchase now at North Coast's website. The festival will be held in Union Park, September 2nd through September 4th. Check out all the artists announced so far below.
