Chicago's Waveform Beachside Music Fest

[shotglass75]

I don't know if Chicago can oversaturate the market or not with summer music festivals even more, but I have no problem with them adding this one if it's true

When posting this, I kinda figured that it was a placeholder when I saw it. Seemed to good to be true. So I guess this is what Chicago promoters are doing now. I guess it's a good way to get people talking about your fest. Leak a somewhat real/somewhat fake lineup and then make a splash page for your fests website. Get people to build a buzz about it on message boards and blogs and then reveal the actual lineup. I'll be happy if Basement Jaxx are there.

[Phunkevil]

I'll be happy if Basement Jaxx are there.

The lack of "Dj set" next to their name made me highly suspicious of the line-ups authenticity. When's the last time they performed a live set in the States? 2004?

[shotglass75]

So what you are saying is that they are due.

So Orbital playing Saturday in Europe, means they couldnt play in Chicago on Sunday I guess.... like that one time Boys Noize/Sasha played Glastonbury, and then EDC in LA the next day.

Oh well, its always fun to daydream about festivals.

[Aurgasm]

Sasha and boys noise need a cd case to travel. And edc has money.

I doubt its true, but I guess we will see.

OK guys.. looks like Waveform Music Festival has been rebranded as WaveFRONT Music Festival. Still the same dates, still in Chicago and still on Montrose Beach. They have a new landing page.. and according to their facebook they are planning to announce the phase 1 of their lineup tonight.

[stinkbutt]

[Mugwog]

No Orbital or Basement Jaxx? What a letdown

Well there's always hope for "Wave 2"

[concertgoer]

More info...

The two-day festival will be produced by 4 Headed Productions, a side project of Spy Bar owner Dino Gardiakos.

"I've been thinking about the idea of moving up to a bigger audience and doing something on a larger scale for the last couple of years," Gardiakos said. "When we got a permit to use the beach, it was just the perfect opportunity."

[heyeric]

second wave better have orbital and basement jaxx or what a letdown that initial waveform splash page flyer would be

[SoulDischarge]

That's still pretty damn solid for locals. I'm going.
