Summer is flying by and one of the only good things about that are the highly anticipated dates of North Coast Music Festival. It’s just a little over a month away until NCMF, a.k.a. “Summer’s Last Stand” opens its gates to thousands of music crazed fans from around the globe.
Each year, in effort to highlight emerging artists and give them a chance to play on the main stage of NCMF, the Toast of the Coast competition picks the top 25 voted artists and then selects 8 to play in a Battle Royal in Chicago. Each artist will have 15 minutes to prove themselves to music hungry fans. Winners are chosen by cheers and crowd response, leaving one band and one DJ victors to share the stage with huge acts such as Osesza, Logic, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, Zedd, The Floozies, The Claypool Lennon Delirium and a whole list more.
This year’s Battle Royale is FREE to the public 17+ and will take place Wednesday, August 3rd at 1st Ward Events, Chop Shop in Chicago’s super music popular neighborhood, Wicker Park. Doors open at 7pm and the lineup will be chosen at random. This is not only a chance to take part in the future of NCMF, but a chance to see some of the best emerging artist in the live music circuit.
The carefully selected lineup will include DEXTER ALAN, STAYKATION, CHUCKDIESEL, NATIVE, EVEN THIEVES, LUKE GAWNE, NASTY SACKS and SPLOR. Get to Chop Shop this Wednesday evening and do your part in sealing the deal for your favorite artists on the list. It is FREE music to get you pumped for North Coast Music Festival. Time to boogie down Coasties!
