North Coast Music Festival officially kicks off its 16th year with the release of its Phase One lineup for 2026, returning Labor Day Weekend, September 4–6, 2026, to the newly renovated SeatGeek Stadium campus just outside Chicago. Known for its genre-spanning curation and deeply loyal community, North Coast continues to evolve while staying rooted in its mission of inclusivity, creativity, and unforgettable live experiences.
“This is your festival. This is everyone’s festival,” the North Coast ethos reads. “We don’t just accept differences. We celebrate them.”
The Phase One announcement features a stacked, forward-thinking lineup including BUNT., Crankdat, Fisher, Ganja White Night, GRiZ, Gryffin, Holy Priest, Illenium B2B Slander, (Surprise Guest) B2B Tape B, Porter Robinson (DJ set), Lily Palmer, Sammy Virji Curates, Wooli, Restricted, and more, with additional artists still to be announced. Highlights include Sammy Virji curating a full-day stage, major B2B moments, and the return of fan-favorite experiences like the Brownies & Lemonade Stage Takeover.
Hosted by Collectiv Presents, North Coast offers a truly immersive festival environment with six uniquely designed stages, expansive green space, and a wide range of “more than music” experiences—from the Chill Dome and Ferris Wheel to interactive art installations and curated food offerings.
