Never mind the snafus, including a late Friday night headlining set, this is a lot of music fans’ favorite festival of the Chicago summer.
Travis Scott, of the record label Cactus Jack, performs on June 14, 2024, at the Summer Smash Music Festival at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview. Now in its sixth year, Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash music festival – billed as the world’s largest independent hip-hop festival – returned to suburban Bridgeview’s SeatGeek Stadium for the second time with a big impact, and a few big delays.
For Calhoun, Summer Smash is an opportunity for discovery as well as to see the culture come to life. “This is our second Summer Smash,” Grant says, “and Cole did amazing with this lineup, he knew what he was doing. He has a special way of picking who has potential and securing who’s already up there. I just think it’s great. Music festivals should keep growing and becoming more of a thing. When I was younger, for people my age, we’d go to individual concerts, but this is our favorite. It’s a surprise how music festivals even work – how many artists come and how much you get to see.

Not entirely the Cactus Jack set folks were hoping for, folks began heading for the parking lot and ride-shares as the group finally took the stage together, doing two songs – helmed by the favorite “Gang Gang” – to cap the night at 11:50 p.m., well past curfew. Whether or not the festival will incur fines has not been confirmed, as the Village of Bridgeview and the local police department did not return the Tribune’s request for comment.
