Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival is set to return to Chicago for its seventh edition from June 20-22 at SeatGeek Stadium. The festival has become a significant event for hip-hop fans, featuring a mix of established and emerging artists.
In 2024, the festival’s lineup was headlined by Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and Chief Keef, marking his first performance in Chicago in ten years. Other notable performers included Big Sean, Cash Cobain, Destroy Lonely, Flo Milli, JID, Ken Carson, TiaCorine, Waka Flocka Flame, and YG Marley. The 2023 festival gained attention for moments such as Playboi Carti being pursued by fans on a highway and Lil Yachty’s stage walk being edited into various online memes.
Tickets for the 2025 festival are now available for presale, including three-day general admission and VIP options. Organizers have stated that prices will increase as the event approaches. The official lineup will be released in the coming weeks, and additional details can be found at www.thesummersmash.com.
