Get ready for an electrifying end to summer as the North Coast Music Festival returns to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, from August 29 to 31, 2025. Celebrating its 15th anniversary, this year’s festival promises an unforgettable experience for electronic music enthusiasts.
2025 Headliners & Highlights
North Coast’s 2025 Phase 1 lineup is stacked with some of the most exciting names in electronic music today, promising a weekend full of unforgettable sets and sonic variety. Leading the charge is Zedd, the chart-topping EDM producer known for his polished, melodic hits. Excision will bring his signature heavy bass and jaw-dropping visuals, while REZZ delivers her hypnotic mid-tempo grooves that never fail to captivate.
House heads can look forward to the infectious rhythms of Chris Lake, while trap pioneer RL Grime continues to push the genre’s boundaries with his dynamic sound. Bass music mainstays Zeds Dead are back to shake the ground, and Seven Lions returns with his unique blend of dubstep and trance influences.
Things get darker and more intense with SVDDEN DEATH’s VOYD project, while experimental vibes will come courtesy of Of The Trees, known for his rich, genre-blending soundscapes. Hometown hero Kaskade brings his legacy back to Chicago, and local favorites Louis The Child will keep the crowd moving with their pop-forward electronic style.
A major moment this year is the return of deadmau5, who hasn’t graced the North Coast stage since 2017—this time surprising fans with a rare drum & bass set.
In addition to the headliners, the festival also boasts an incredible supporting cast including Galantis, Sofi Tukker, Timmy Trumpet, Apashe, Benny Benassi, Kai Wachi, LP Giobbi, NGHTMRE b2b Dimension, Peekaboo b2b Caspa, Ray Volpe, Tinlicker, and Wax Motif. Whether you’re into melodic house, bone-rattling bass, or anything in between, this year’s lineup is designed to hit all the right notes.
