There’s a brand-new music festival in Chicago this summer—and it’s mixing country vibes with house beats, all paired with two days of great food and endless margaritas.
Live Music, Local Food, and Margs? Say Less.

Meltin’ Margs Fest will take over the Soldier Field South Lot from June 20–21, 2025, drawing an expected 4,000 to 8,000 attendees for a weekend of live music, dancing, and nonstop summer fun.
The inaugural lineup features a mix of country artists and house DJs, with Eli Young Band, Wuki, and Ship Wrek headlining the two-day bash.
Several Chicago artists will also take the stage including King Inesse, Maximo Quinones, and Riplock.
Guests can also expect local food vendors and tons of margarita options, along with beer, seltzers, vodka cocktails, and more.
A new music festival experience in Chicago

“Meltin’ Margs is all about creating an expressive new space for the young generations of Chicago to enjoy the two fastest growing music genres in the US” said Nicholas Krupa, Festival Founder.
