[GrooveCartel] Beyond Wonderland Chicago announces 2025 lineup

Auris Presents and Insomniac, the top music festival and live events experience producer worldwide have revealed the much-awaited lineup for the second edition of Beyond Wonderland Chicago. In 2024, we want to Beyond Wonderland Chicago. Our experience.

Coming back to Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on June 7–8, 2025, the most recent addition to the cherished Beyond Wonderland brand promises an unmatched immersive experience in The Windy City. Attendees will be carried down the rabbit hole into Alice’s fantastical paradise, where a genre-spanning roster awaits including house and techno veterans, bass music superstars, and melodic geniuses.

Headliners should expect explosive performances over four stages that highlight the finest in electronic music. Among the outstanding performances is ILLENIUM, the Chicago-born artist whose emotionally driven anthems have solidified him as among the most loved performers in dance music. Along with him are GRAMMY-nominated stars Marshmello, Slander, MEDUZA, and Audien as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning performers Afrojack and Cassian. Dubstep/trap hitmaker Crankdat, Dutch powerhouse team Yellow Claw, and the GRAMMY-nominated team SIDEPIECE are among further EDM giants.

Insomniac Records and Day Trip will collaborate to host Caterpillar’s Garden stage, therefore providing an unparalleled house and techno experience given Chicago’s strong impact in house music. Along with rising natives Dom Chap and Avi Sic, headliners may groove to the sounds of Chicago icons Green Velvet and Gene Farris as well as internationally known selectors MK, James Hype, Coco & Breezy, and Walker & Royce. Combining high-energy tech house with deep, driving basslines, a much awaited b2b set from Biscits and Martin Ikin will also feature.

Beyond Wonderland Chicago 2025 also offers a formidable bass roster, with headlining performances from Subtronics, Virtual Riot, and Ganja White Night plus a special b2b set from drum & bass standouts Hedex and Bou.
