North Coast Drops Loaded Phase One Lineup for 2025 Edition

Chris Lake, Excision, Kaskade, Timmy Trumpet, Zedd, and many more are set to headline the 15th anniversary of North Coast Music Festival.

For the past decade and a half, North Coast Music Festival has been one of Chicago’s premier music festivals. Evolving from a music festival that catered to all genres, the now primarily EDM festival has churned out some of America’s best lineups over the last few years. This year is no different as North Coast has unveiled its staked phase one lineup when the festival returns to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview on August 29-31.

Whether you prefer house, bass, or anything in between, North Coast’s stacked phase-one lineup has you covered. For house lovers or people who like something a little more chill, Chris Lake, Galantis, Kaskade, Louis The Child, SOFI TUKKER, and Zedd will lead the charge for the headliners. Other house artists on the lineup include Benny Benassi, LP Giobbi, Tinlciker, Wax Motif, Joshwa, Kaleena Zanders, and Westend.

Bassheads will have plenty to look forward to as well as some of the headliners include Excision, Rezz, RL Grime, Zeds Dead, a VOYD set from SVDDEN DEATH, and a very special drum and bass set from deadmau5. Other bass artists include Detox Unit, Kai Wachi, Ray Volpe, Lil Texas, a unique b2b set featuring NGHTMRE and Dimension, and the world debut of PEEKABOO b2b Caspa. The lineup also has rising bass artists like Prosecute, PYKE, and VKTM.

In addition to this stacked initial lineup, North Coast has also announced that there will be stage takeovers by Brownies & Lemonade and local Chicago groups EDM Chicago, DubHub, and Wub Life. If you’re in or around Chicago in late August, this will be a weekend that you don’t want to miss.
