Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash Festival Set to Take Over Douglass Park in Chicago
The Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash Festival is an immersive art experience and the premier Hip Hop Music Festival in the Midwest, ready to roll into Chicago’s Douglass Park Friday, June 17 through Sunday, June 19. Founded by a pair of Chicago-based music powerhouses – concert promoter SPKRBX and next-gen media company Lyrical Lemonade – Summer Smash Festival has grown into one of the largest independent music festivals in the country after playing host to 90,000 attendees last summer.
Friday is highlighted by a performance by Grammy Award-winning rap pioneer Young Thug, who will be joined by fellow YSL Records labelmate Gunna for the Atlanta-based rap duo’s first-ever full-set collaborative performance. Saturday singer/songwriter Post Malone, one of the highest-selling music artists of the past quarter-century, will headline; he is working on the release of his next album later this year. MC Playboi Carti will help close out the three-day fest on Sunday night.
Many are first-time Summer Smash performers such as Wiz Khalifa, Polo G, Rico Nasty, Oliver Tree, 2 Chainz, and Ohgeesy, and this will be the plus the Chicago debut of rising rap star Yeat. Previous Summer Smash artists include Trippie Redd, Ski Mask The Slump God, Lil Tecca, and $not.
Summer Smash Festival Director and SPKRBX founder Berto Solorio noted:
“Today marks an exciting milestone for Summer Smash as we unveil our biggest music lineup to date. It’s been incredible to witness our fest grow into one of the largest annual music events in the country in only four short years.
