Earlier this week, North Coast finally released their full schedule of events for the Labor Day weekend. North Coast is Chicago's annual EDM music festival that began last year. And last year was pretty damn amazing. I was only able to attend Friday night, but seeing The Chemical Brothers live was one of my all-time favorite concerts.
Here's the link for the full schedule:

This year, they have some pretty big names too, much more variety, and multiple after-parties scattered across the city.
Those are listed here:
