Experience

Over 75 artists playing on six unique stages brings us together, but North Coast is more than music....

Chill Dome

We converted a massive, well-ventilated, air-conditioned dome into an area for resting, cooling down, and getting out of the day time heat. Vibe out to a custom laser spectacle and the chill sounds from Chicago’s best djs playing downtempo, chillhop, lofi, and more. Warning – the Chill Dome isn’t so chill when headliners take the decks.

NCMF Yacht Club

Board the S.S. Bam or her sister ship for perks, good times, photo ops, drinks, and a yacht’s elevated eye view of the fest.

Incendia Firepit

We teamed up with the Incendia crew to host these fire-breathing domes where flames crawl across the ceiling and fireballs burst from the top. This is often where you can find the hardest music at North Coast.

Rainbow Lounge

A re-imagined scaffolding into part art installation, part hammock lounge, designed to take you off your feet and bring people together.

Massive Sculptures

The Alien, Gnome, Sycamore the Giant, and Bass Bot hang out for photo ops and the crew keeps growing.

Ferris Wheel

What’s a fest without a Ferris Wheel? Escape the world, take a ride with that special someone, and get an aerial view of the fest with the Chicago skyline on the horizon.

Roaming Performers & Sidequest Games

Our costumed Performers add some flair and mystery to an already eccentric crowd. Adorning beautiful outfits, infusing a fantastical sense of wonder to the fest. Keep an eye out for them as they also host games for prizes!

Coastie Cafe & Two Food Courts

We have Michelin-Star Chef Brian Fisher at the helm of Coastie Cafe cooking up the best food you’ve ever had at a festival. Plus two food courts with food trucks ad tents serving up tasty bites of all kinds.

…and so much more

Hidden parties, tunnels, kandie and body art stations, no cash Black Jack, live art, drone shows, light installations, bubble machines, and fireworks…whew! There’s plenty to explore at North Coast.
