Wavefront Beachfront Music 2012

As festival season quickly approaches us here in Chicago, local promoters have decided there is enough demand to add two new festivals to this year’s already jam-packed calendar! React Presents & Congress Theater are bringing us Spring Awakening Music Festival and then a few weeks later, we caught wind that Montrose beach would be home to the first annual Wavefront Beachside Music Festival. Headlining the inaugural Wavefront will be Duck Sauce & Erick Morillo with additional acts from Boyz Noize, Sasha, James Murphy, Benoit & Sergio, Lee Foss and many more. The event will take place on Saturday, June 30th and Sunday July 1st.

The masterminds behind Wavefront are former Chicago native and nightlife maven Brandon Carone of 4 Headed Productions and Dino Gardiakos of Spybar nightclub. They was inspired to do a beach event by last summer’s World Cup Polo Tournament at North Avenue Beach. They chose Montrose beach because it can be easily accessed as well as having more parking and boat slips than other desirable locations in Chicago.

General Admission and VIP are now available and can be purchased as single day or weekend passes on the Wavefront website.
