Summer Smash Festival is Coming Back To Chi-Town
Summer Smash Festival is coming back to SeatGeek Stadium just south of Chicago! The seventh anniversary of the smash hit festival will be back Friday, June 20 through Sunday, June 22.
The 2025 ticket presales will begin today, February 28 at Noon CST offering three-day GA passes alongside various VIP packages. These will be the least expensive tickets available to the general public with prices increasing as the event date approaches, so fans are encouraged to act quickly. Grab them while they’re hot!!!
After a historic edition last year in which Summer Smash welcomed more fans than ever before while hosting over 120,000 festival attendees from around the globe!! How neat! And now, the three-day outdoor music festival has continued to cement itself as the largest independently-owned hip-hop festival in the world. We’re excited to see the growth!
Founded seven years ago by a pair of Chicago-based music powerhouses – the Midwest’s leading hip-hop concert promoter and concert production group SPKRBX and award-winning next-gen media company Lyrical Lemonade – Summer Smash offers music fans a stacked festival lineup filled with the most sought-after names in hip-hop and rap. You get the best of the best ranging from Grammy Award winners to acts dominating radio waves to fast-rising up-and-comers to hometown Chicago rappers.
Located roughly 30 minutes from downtown Chicago in nearby Bridgeview, Illinois at SeatGeek Stadium, the outdoor event will continue to offer fans to some of the biggest names in the scene across 3 stages. This venue also hosts North Coast and I can speak from experience, it’s a great venue!
Beyond improved production, sound, and lighting at each main stage, fans will once again be treated to dozens of art installations, carnival games, roaming performers, and larger-than-life activations once inside the festival grounds, along with a sky-high Ferris wheel that offered unparalleled views of the sprawling multi-acre festival grounds, and one of the America’s most robust festival culinary programs featuring the best of the Midwest’s food scene. It’s going to be a blast! Grab those tickets now!
Stay tuned as the music lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks. Until then, stay in the loop on more news and announcements leading up to this year’s Summer Smash by visiting www.thesummersmash.com and following along on social media at @TheSummerSmash.
