Exactly 3 months ago, in the beginning of Winter, I wrote about Electric Forest’s 2025 intial lineup being released. It’s only fitting that as the winds of Spring start trying to sneak out, we are blessed with more additions to the 2025 edition of the festival. An eclectic phase one featured huge names like Justice, Disclosure, Louis The Child, and many more – but it only makes sense that we drop a few more in to really round out the lineup.

As Winter starts to sweep most of the U.S. and some of us need to start bundling up for the cold (editor’s note: Chicago winters make Chicago Summers the best thing in the world and I won’t hear otherwise) – the only thing that keeps some of us sane is the festival lineups that we know that we will be frolicking at come Summer time. And for those who call Electric Forest home, the daydreams of frolicking begin today.

The Inaugural Beyond Wonderland Chicago is all set to land at Chicago’s Beautiful Huntington Bank Pavilion this weekend (June 1st, and 2nd). The venue, which sits right on scenic Lake Michigan will be the perfect backdrop to an incredible music-filled weekend for all attendees. We put together some of our favorite acts that are slated to perform during Insomniac’s return to the Chicago Festival Scene this weekend to get excited.

Attendees of most Chicago outdoor events are very aware of a sound curfew that exists. It’s the cost of doing business of holding world-class events embedded in a world-class city, but just because the party stops at Northerly Island, does not mean it’s bed-time. Beyond Wonderland Chicago just released their slate of afterparties that will be invading music venues and clubs throughout the city immediately following the festival’s end.

As Summer slowly starts to come to fruition, it is only fitting that we start filling our playlists with songs that fit the vibe, and who else other than Whethan to start filling up those playlists. “Do You Remember” is the 3rd single from his highly anticipated album, Life of a Wallflower, Vol. 2 and it combines disco, house, & future bass elements for a delightfully tasty track from the young hitmaker. Tune in, and keep an eye out for Life of a Wallflower, Vol.2 coming May 31st.
