Insomniac is back with a stacked lineup for Beyond Wonderland Chicago’s 2025 return.
After the festival giant’s long-running mad-tea-party-themed rave made its Windy City debut last year, Insomniac will team reunite with local partner Auris Presents to bring Beyond Wonderland back to the scenic Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on June 7-8.
This year’s lineup is bursting with nearly 70 artists covering a wide variety of electronic styles, including bass superstars like ILLENIUM, SLANDER, Marshmello, titanic EDM names like Afrojack, Yellow Claw, and Audien, and global house hitmakers like MEDUZA and SIDEPIECE.
Insomniac’s house music brands Insomniac Records and Day Trip are again slated to honor Chicago’s legacy as the birthplace of the genre with a special house and techno experience on the festival’s Caterpillar’s Garden stage. Headline sets will come from Chicago house legends Green Velvet and Gene Farris, joined by rising locals Dom Chap and Avi Sic, and globally renowned selectors MK, James Hype, and Walker & Royce, among others.
Other anticipated house and techno performances throughout the weekend include melodic favorites like Cassian and Eli & Fur, surging producers like Odd Mob and OMNOM, and exciting pairings like Biscits B2B Martin Ikin, Matroda B2B San Pacho, and Fly With Us (AC Slater B2B Chris Lorenzo).
Beyond Wonderland’s powerhouse bass cohort is topped by Subtronics, Virtual Riot, and Ganja White Night, joined by further dubstep, trap and experimental bass heavyweights in TroyBoi, Wooli, Mersiv, Nikita, the Wicked, Boogie T, AHEE, and many more.
Flying the flag for drum & bass at this year’s festival are genre icons Wilkinson and Netsky, as well as high-octane collaborative sets from Hedex B2B Bou and Culture Shock B2B ÆON:MODE. Check out the full lineup below.
Two-day passes for Beyond Wonderland Chicago 2025 will go on sale this Friday, February 7, at 12PM CT. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit chicago.beyondwonderland.com.
