Original post (May 1st, 2013): Wavefront Music Festival is officially set for its second year at the shores of Lake Michigan on Chicago’s beautiful Montrose Beach. The dates are Friday, July 5th, Saturday, July 6th and Sunday, July 7th, 2013. You can now purchase single day general admission passes for Wavefront through Wantickets. The schedule for each day has not yet been released yet, but judging by the lineup, each day will be worth attending. Last month Wavefront Music Festival released an impressive Wave One artist lineup, and today they are back with their Wave Two announcement. Their ultimate goal is to bring the world’s top electronic dance music artists to the Windy City, and they’re definitely doing it in a big way.

Chicago House music originator, Frankie Knuckles, had this to say about the new stage:

I am truly excited to be a part of the Wavefront Music Festival. From the beginning of this whole ‘House Music’ movement at our little club [The Warehouse] on S. Jefferson St. back in 1977, I couldn’t imagine that that little old good time would turn into such a global phenomenon. For better than 25 years I’ve circled the globe and everywhere I go I leave a little piece of Chicago behind (musically). And now, not only does the world recognize Chicago as a viable entity when it comes to ‘House Music’ but the City of Chicago fully embraces, supports and recognizes the movement I’m so proud to be a part of.Welcome to The Wavefront Music Festival!”

There is no doubt in my mind that the “Chicago Heritage of House Stage” will showcase the historic roots of dance music. If this dosen’t have you excited about Wavefront, then I don’t know what will.
