Chicago is known for its huge music festivals, drawing big crowds every year to Lollapalooza and Pitchfork. But aside from Pilsen’s Unísono Festival, and, more recently, emerging concert series Tus Soni2, its Latin music festival offerings haven’t always kept pace. Which is why we’re excited to announce a brand new festival coming to the Chi, with a killer, Remezcla-approved lineup.
RuidoFest15 promises three days of music, culture, art, food, and drink with over 40 musical acts on two main stages and a smaller one for up and coming artists. This will happen at Addams/Medill Park in Pilsen, a place known for its strong Mexican presence, as well as being one of the most culturally diverse places in the city.
And the lineup? Here’s a sampling of the acts performing: Café Tacvba, Kali Uchis, Carmen Costa, Mariel Mariel, Toy Selectah and MIS, Porter, Rey Pila, Sonido Gallo Negro, Dënver, Kinky, Zero Killer, La Vida Boheme, María y José, Astro, and many many many many more.
RuidoFest might just become one of the highlights of the summer. It will take place on July 10-12; more details forthcoming.
