Lil Uzi Vert, Skrillex, Baby Keem, Playboi Carti, and more are coming to Chicago to headline Summer Smash 2026.
Lyrical Lemonade’s three-day hip-hop festival is back at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, this June 12-14, featuring another cross-genre roster of underground rap, R&B, and electronic music’s best, announced yesterday.
Elsewhere, the lineup features additional headline performances from Chicago’s own drill legend Chief Keef, Lil Baby, and Swedish rappers Yung Lean & Bladee, plus underground favorites, genre-blurring stars, and viral figures such as Sexyy Red, G Herbo, ISOxo, 2hollis, Waka Flocka Flame, xaviersobased, Whethan, EsDeeKid, BigXthaPlug, Fetty Wap, North West, and many more.

Now in its eighth edition, Summer Smash was launched in 2018 by Chicago video producer Cole Bennett’s Lyrical Lemonade brand and SPKRBX owner Berto Solorio, who started the festival to showcase local hip-hop artists from the Windy City. Since then, the event has expanded to host global touring headliners and more than 100,000 fans from across the globe, according to organizers.
