Heatwave Music Festival Drops An Extra Hot 2023 Lineup

GRiZ, Kx5, Slander, TIËSTO, Gryffin, LSDREAM, Malaa, and more will headline the second edition of Heatwave Music Festival.

Auris Presents continues to shake up the Chicago music scene by hosting some of the best names in dance music at large capacity venues like Radius and noteworthy fests such as ARC Music Festival. Now, to add even more heat into the mix, they’re bringing Heatwave Music Festival back for its second year. Shifting gears, the festival will now occur at one of the most beloved outdoor event spaces in Chicago, Northerly Island, on June 10-11. Round two of this pop-art-inspired festival is shaping up to be one for the books.

The sophomore edition of Heatwave Music Festival unveils yet another diversely exciting lineup with immediate standouts, including GRiZ, Gryffin, Malaa, LSDREAM, Loud Luxury, SLANDER, and TIËSTO, who will be headlining the festival along with Kx5 for their Chicago debut. Being a huge house music hub, it is no surprise there are plenty of house artists on the bill, such as SIDEPIECE, Noizu, Nostalgix, The Sponges, and a massive b2b featuring A-Trak and VNSSA.
