North Coast Music Festival has announced a major expansion of its Chill Dome stage for 2026, introducing a new nighttime concept called The Bunker. The hard techno and riddim-focused environment will debut September 4–6 at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, marking the festival's 16th year.
Daytime Dome, Nighttime Bunker
The Chill Dome will continue to operate during the day as a fully programmed alternative stage featuring special guest performances, experiential programming, and a laser show. At night, the space will transform into The Bunker, an industrial-aesthetic stage dedicated to hard techno and riddim.
The Bunker's lineup includes hard techno and peak-time selectors Angerfist, Nikolina, Jazzy, Byorn, Diøn, Gravdgr, Dømina, Alignment, AYCH, and RIIJA, alongside riddim artists YDG, The Resistance, Nimda, and Prosecute.
Phase Two Additions and Local Support
The festival's second phase announcement also adds Level Up, Sippy, Interplanetary Criminal, and Jigitz to a lineup already headlined by Fisher, GRiZ, Illenium B2B Slander, Levity B2B Tape B, Porter Robinson (DJ Set), Gryffin, Ganja White Night, Sammy Virji, BUNT, Crankdat, and Wooli.
More than 55 local artists will perform across the Firepit, Silent Disco, and Chill Dome stages, continuing the festival's investment in Chicago's DJ community.
North Coast 2026 will feature six stages across the SeatGeek Stadium campus. Tickets are on sale now, with additional programming and lineup announcements expected ahead of the September event.
