The Spring Awakening Music Festival will be moving locations for their fifth anniversary in the soulful city of Chicago.
In 2016, Spring Awakening will be held June 10th through 12th in Jackson Park, also known as the site of the historic World’s Fair.
“Over the past year we’ve explored potential venues that have bigger footprints, and with 500+ acres of lakefront greenery, Jackson Park turned out to be a prime location,” says Jeff Callahan, founder of SAMF.
The festival has just announced the location and dates. They will be announcing the lineup in the upcoming months.
The Spring Awakening Music Festival has noted that fans can expect a total of six stages this year, with two main stages featuring both live electronic acts and world-renowned DJs.
In addition, the festival will host interactive art installations, firework displays, and carnival rides including a ferris wheel in honor of the world’s first ferris wheel that was built on these same grounds for the monumental World’s Fair in 1893.
