Festival Radar: Chicago by SoundCloud Stories
published on
As the birthplace of house music in the late 1970s, the city of Chicago has earned its place as a landmark for dance music. With its storied history and cultural impact permeating across the globe, DJs, producers and live acts descend on the Windy City each year at Lollapalooza, with the festival renowned for its embrace of all music genres and styles – after initially launching countless alternative acts. Perry’s Stage – aptly named for Perry Farrell, the festival’s founder and the frontman of Jane’s Addiction – has since become a fan-favorite destination for dance music, playing host to the genre’s pioneers and emerging acts alike, with no shortage of top-tier mystery guests. Whether you’re Chicago-bound or absorbing the city’s massive cultural impact from a distance, we’ve compiled a collection of electronic tracks from artists who will be moving the crowd on the iconic Perry’s Stage and throughout this year’s Lolla, including Skrillex (who is curating his own stage this year), Zedd, Galantis, FISHER, MOCHAKK and more.
