Inside the Beyond Wonderland Chicago 2026 lineup
Tiësto, Zedd, Excision, DJ Snake, Alan Walker, Green Velvet, and more headline as Beyond Wonderland Chicago marks its third year.
The Windy City pours the tea as Insomniac reveals the magical lineup for Beyond Wonderland 2026. Returning to Huntington Bank Pavilion on June 6 and 7, the festival’s third Chicago edition will feature a lineup of topsy-turvy talent, including Tiësto, Zedd, DJ Snake, Alan Walker, and Excision, and more.
House and techno Headliners are also in for a ride down the rabbit hole with Green Velvet, LP Giobbi, Sonny Fodera, Layton Giordani and an ACRAZE B2B Wax Motif set. Bassheads, don’t worry, there’s plenty on the lineup for you too with Zeds Dead, Kai Wachi, Liquid Stranger, a Space Laces B2B Eptic set and a special Wholesome Riddim Set from San Holo.
Before the official lineup announcement, Insomniac released its usual teaser rollout, featuring an interactive card game on the Insomniac website, which caused a stir online. Many were left guessing who would be featured on this year’s lineup and speculating about even more surprise sets.
Beyond the fully packed lineup, Insomniac’s signature Beyond Wonderland storybook-inspired stage design and visuals will transform the lakefront venue into a surreal world and incredible rave experience. The outdoor amphitheater is located right on Chicago’s lakefront with panoramic views of the skyline, combining the modern urban landscape with whimsical wonderland. Interactive art installations will also surround the main stages, like Queen’s Domain and the Caterpillar’s Garden. While festival goers wander through Wonderland throughout the weekend event, curious costumed performers will also drift through the crowd as you hop from stage to stage.
Against the iconic Chicago skyline, Beyond Wonderland Chicago 2026 is shaping up to be the Midwest’s it-festival this summer. Summer festival season can’t come soon enough, so grab your rave crew and start planning your trip to Wonderland before tickets sell out.
Two-day GA, GA+, and 21+ VIP tickets will be available for purchase beginning 12 PM CT on Friday, February 6, at chicago.beyondwonderland.com.

Hi, I’m Lily! I’m an LA-based concert & festival diehard! My life was forever changed after my first festival, Coachella 2019, and then fully spiraled (in the best way) after my first EDC in 2023. I have attended over 140+ shows... I am the ultimate stage hopper and will always make it to the barricade. I love dubstep, house, trance, techno, bass, you name it. If I’m not at a show, I’m working as a social media manager & photographer, or probably listening to music, learning how to DJ, planning my next festival, or watching a Gordon Ramsay cooking show with my cat. I am so excited to be writing for Exron and sharing my love for music. If you're reading this, thanks for being here and reading my stuff!
