Unfortunately due to a back injury, Tiesto has to postpone and reschedule his October Club Live College invasion tour dates. What does that mean to us Chicago-ans? Well the October 13 UIC Pavilion date has been moved to DECEMBER 7.
For more information about the tour reschedule dates follow this LINK.

North Coast Music Festival 2012
Labor Day weekend 2012
It’s been two weeks since “summer’s last stand” or Chicago’s
3rd annual North Coast Music Festival and I’m still having a hard time putting
into words a concise non rambling review.
I’ve also been attempting to judge North Coast by its own merit but I do
have to compare it to Spring Awakening (which I attended) in order to make some
of my points make more sense.
The Pros:
Lineup – Unlike Spring Awakening North Coast focuses on 3 genres of
music not 1; hip hop, EDM and jam bands vs. just EDM respectively. This is not
to say that Spring Awakening was not a great festival to attend, but it’s good
to get away from the heavy bass lines and drops even for a few minutes to catch
your breath. The music selection also ties into the crowd.
Crowd- With a mix
of new age hippies, hipsters (for the jam bands) hip hop enthusiasts and of
course the ragers, you saw a pretty diverse crowd which added to the festival
experience. This is somewhat comparable to Electric Forest minus the hip hop
enthusiasts.
Vendors- I know there
are many vendors at each music festival one attends, but North Coast’s
selection of merchandise, food and beverage vendors seemed a lot larger. Some
did run out of water towards the end of Sunday, but the variety of products
attendees had to choose from should be commended.
Prices – Clothing
was roughly 20-25$ a Dos Equis beer was $6 red bull $3 and water $2. I don’t think
those are bad prices at all when other festivals would charge you $5 for water
or upwards of $8 for a beer.
Other – With
Groupon hosting its own huge tent with a silent disco (everyone entering
received headphones with 2 channels, each channel had a different DJ spinning
you could alternate between the two) and Dos Equis having its own birling
arena, it kept festival goers occupied while they waited for their favorite
acts to hit the stage. There were some performers spotted that walked around
all which contributes to a festival feel.
The Cons:
Location – Last time
I checked React Presents claims that over 45000 people attended North Coast over
the 3 day weekend. That’s only 5000 less
of what React claims showed up to their first Spring Awakening Music Festival.
The difference is that the 50000+ at Soldier Field had a lot more room to move
around. There was never a time where you couldn’t get through from one stage to
the next. This should be addressed if North Coast continues to grow in popularity.
Union Park might not cut it in the next few years.
Stage Set up- I don’t
think I’m alone when I say that I think the North and Coast Stage are way too
close to each other. This not only left
many gaps in scheduling acts for both stages (when you look at the schedule,
acts alternated between the two stages) but also caused a huge stagnant crowd
to form very close to the main part of
the festival. My suggestion is
consolidate to 3 stages giving enough room for maneuverability between stages
or maybe put in some kind of other entertainment in the open space. This would
also potentially allow that one stage (Dos Equis Stage) to be closer to the
major crowds and not stuck in a corner of the park.
Water Refill Stations
– With the crowd getting larger each day of the festival which actually caused
some beverage tents to run out of water; couple that with Chicago humidity
(especially Sunday after a drizzly sat evening) it was a no brainer for North
Coast organizers to have water refill stations set up around the festival
grounds. The only problem was, I was only able to locate one, which had a 30
minute wait for it by Sunday. Now I know it wasn’t like Spring Awakening where
we had the scorching heat of a mid July Chicago summer, but there should have been
more water refill stations.
Summary - All in
all North Coast Music festival is a great way to end your summer, with a
variety of acts and activities that will keep you entertained all 3 days of the
weekend. But be prepared to fight your way through the crowds progressively throughout
the weekend which makes getting around and getting some food or beer a hassle.I will point out that even though Union Park gets filled quickly it is easily accessible by the green line (even though the stop was packed with people in the evening see picture on the right) and street parking was not that hard to find within a few blocks of the entrance all 3 days.
