Summer isn't even over and promoters, music fans and party-goers are already aiming their eyes to the next big holiday for events: Halloween. Chicago's React Presents, which hosts Spring Awakening, Summer Set Music Festival and North Coast Music Festival, is hosting a three day festival, Freaky Deaky, which enters its seventh year. The largely electronic festival will be headlined by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, 2 Chainz, Big Gigantic and others.
Additional names on the lineup include Carnage, Arty, Tchami, Sub Focus, Benny Benassi, Flying Lotus, Oliver Heldens, Joris Voorn, Paper Diamond and more. There will be a few special guests as well as a back-to-back set from Cash Cash and Tritonal on their joint "Untouchable" tour.
Scary stages will be led by Markus Schulz on Friday, Gesaffelstein on Saturday and then Richie Hawtin on Sunday.
There is a strong hip-hop contingent represented at Freaky Deaky. The aforementioned 2 Chainz leads the charge, but he is flanked by Mac Miller, Action Bronson, Logic, Joey Bada$$, Goldlink and others.
The festival expanded to three days this year, being held from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1 at Toyota Park in suburban Bridgeview, Illinois, 12 miles outside of Chicago. The stadium is an outdoor facility and home to the MLS' Chicago Fire.
Artists will perform on three stages over the three days.
Tickets are available now on the Freaky Deaky with prices sitting right now at $159 plus fees for a three day GA wristband. There will be after parties, but they will be announced at a later date. The event kicks off each day at 2 p.m. Bundle up, because it can get cold this time of year in Chicago.
