Since there are so many options, it’s always tough to figure out what do every New Year’s Eve in Chicago. But if you live in or near the city and love EDM and hip-hop, you can’t go wrong with the amazing yearly bash thrown by React Presents called “Reaction NYE.” Happening Wednesday, Dec. 30 and Thursday, Dec. 31 at the Donald E. Stephens (DES) Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., this is going to be a party—just check out the absolutely stacked lineup, which RedEye is exclusively premiering below.
Deadmau5 and Skrillex headline the two-night bash, and joining those marquee draws are local hero Chance the Rapper (playing his first Chicago show since the Pitchfork Music Festival), Run the Jewels, Chvrches, Robin Schulz, Bonobo, and Purity Ring. Along with Chance, Chicago is well represented in the lineup with House veteran Green Velvet, Autograf and hip-hop artist Probcause joining the fray. Other notable acts include Badbadnotgood, Thundercat, Cashmere Cat, Cherub, Claude Vonstroke as Get Real, the Floozies, Joywave and more to be announced. Wow.
