Six stages, one campus

North Coast Music Festival uses SeatGeek Stadium and its surrounding grounds as a six-stage electronic music campus. Each stage has its own production identity, giving the weekend several distinct rooms at festival scale instead of one uniform main-stage experience.

Chicago's Labor Day fixture

The 2026 edition runs from September 4 to 6 in Bridgeview and marks the festival's 16th year. Its Labor Day timing and three-day format make it a closing chapter of the Chicago summer, while the range of stage environments gives fans space to move between different corners of electronic music without leaving the site.
