Top Artists to Catch at North Coast Music Festival 2022
Festival season is in full swing, and we couldn’t be happier. EDCLV, UMF, and Tomorrowland have all come & gone, but there is one festival still pending with a lineup that rivals even them. The festival in question is the North Coast Music Festival. If you’ve never attended, you might just be keen on doing so by the time you’ve finished reading this. Below are our picks for who we think are the top artists to catch at North Coast Music Festival 2022.
Top Artists to Catch at NCMF 2022
North Coast Music Festival is set to take place over three days, running from Friday, September 2 – Sunday, September 4, 2022. It is slated to be held at Chicagoland’s SeatGeek Stadium Campus. With over 105 unique sets, spread throughout five different stages, you are going to have more than enough music to keep you busy. The official lineup has 50+ acts on it, with even more when you count the local, and opening DJs. Having said that, these are the acts we recommend checking out at NFMF 2022.
NCMF HEADLINERS
My first pick has to be the A State Of Trance legend & Armada labelhead, Armin Van Buuren. This will be his debut at North Coast, so with that being said, expect fireworks. For a peek at what he’s been up to lately, check out our Armin archives, here.
Another debuting act is that of Diplo. Known for his various collaborations, and recent venture into the world of house music, Diplo is in a league of his own. If you’ve yet to see the Mad Decent labelhead, this is someone you need to see ASAP.
Kaytranada is set to take the stage this coming September, and will be sure to bring the heat. Kaytranada just won the Best Dance/Electronic Album for ‘BUBBA’ at the this years GRAMMY Awards. If this isn’t reason enough to see him, I’m not sure what is.
Subtronics is another name that comes to mind after giving the lineup a lookover. While not a basshead myself, I can’t deny what the man has done for the world of dance music. If you want to get weird and wonky, this is the set to catch. With that being said, try not to break your neck!
Gryffin, Slander, & SVDDEN DEATH are all set to take the stage. If you’re a North Coast veteran, then these are some names you might not know. I say this, as this will be all three of their debuts. All different in their own rights, they each bring something different to the table. You can vibe out to Gryffin, sing your heart out to Slander, or get moody to SVDDEN DEATH — the choice is yours.
