The sun goes down, the south stage turns up. We are adding nine late-night sets to this year's second stage, stretching live music past midnight on all three festival days — with silent-disco afterparties on the lakefront lawn to close each night.
Who is playing late
The new additions span garage rock, amapiano, drum-and-bass and a much-requested return for last year's tent-stealers, Glasshouse. Sets run back to back from 10:30 PM, so there is no dead air between the main-stage encore and the late program.
Friday belongs to guitar bands, Saturday to electronic producers, and Sunday to a cross-genre jam session led by members of Ember Union with guests pulled from across the weekend's bill.
Silent disco on the lawn
New for 2027: three channels of DJs broadcast to wireless headsets on the lakefront lawn from midnight to 2 AM. Grab a headset with any festival wristband — no separate ticket, no extra queue.
Late-night sets are included with every pass. If you are still deciding between tiers, the 2-Day Pass covers any two late nights, while the Full Festival Pass keeps you out until close all weekend.
