What Redditors are saying
- Lots of nostalgia vibes — multiple commenters compared this to Lovers & Friends and said it hits the nostalgia hard.
- Some excitement over the blend of R&B and Chicago house: “This lineup is sooooo good. Great mix of RnB acts + House from Chicago! AND JOE KAY 🔥,” one user wrote.
- There was a little confusion in the thread about the EDM headliner — one commenter mentioned John Summit as an EDM headliner on another festival’s poster, which led to people clarifying this lineup’s focus.
- Overall tone: upbeat. Fans of early-2000s R&B in particular seemed hyped — “10-year-old me is freaking out,” summed up one reaction.
We’ve set the location to Chicago since the poster calls out Union Park. If this festival is confirmed, it looks like a weekend tailor-made for longtime R&B fans who also want a little house flavor. Share your thoughts — who are you most excited to see?
