Swedish House Mafia, A-Trak, D-Nice, Felix Da Housecat, Gene Farris, and more will play Will Ferrell’s Ultimate DJ House Party charity event in Chicago this fall.
Will Ferrell isn’t the first name you might think about when it comes to house music, but his passion for all art forms, sports, and more has been on display for decades. Last week, he shook everything up by releasing a video that he and “his band,” Swedish House Mafia, would take the stage at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on October 26 for a benefit show supporting Cancer For College. This hilarious video, where Will Ferrell fit right in with the iconic dance music trio, featured limited details – but more news has surfaced.
Will Ferrell’s Ultimate DJ House Party will not only feature the multifaceted artist and Swedish House Mafia but also a laundry list of DJs who will celebrate Chicago’s rich house music scene while raising funds for a good cause. Curated by Will Ferrell and DJ Whiteshadow, the lineup packs a punch from the jump, with D-Nice, A-Trak, and Felix Da Housecat slated to play.
Gene Farris, Terry Hunter, Terrence Parker, Matthew Koma, Henry Fong, Twista, DRAMA, Dallas Austin, The Captains Of Industry, and more will join in on the fun throughout the night at Wintrust Arena. Additionally, there will be plenty of special guests during the show, including Chicago sports stars and more.
This unique experience is sure to be one of the best ways you can spend the weekend before Halloween, and you’ll be giving back to charity while doing so. Cancer For College is a non-profit focused on supporting cancer survivors who are pursuing their dreams of higher education. Since 1993, they’ve granted 1,700 scholarships, provided medical debt relief, hosted workshops and mentorship groups, and more.
