Bringing immaculate vibes and fiery Latin Music to the shores of Lake Michigan, SueƱos Music Festival is the stuff that dreams are made of. Taking place in picturesque Grant Park, Chicago, SueƱos kicked off its inaugural festival on a high note, with a full complement of contemporary Latin sounds that reflects the vibrancy and diversity of the current scene.
Ozuna closed out the night with his brand of melodic Reggaeton during his first Chicago performance in four years, Farruko tore up the stage with electronic-influenced hits like “PEPAS,” and Myke Towers showed out with his rich tenor and R&B-inspired melodies. Beyond Reggaeton, the sounds of SueƱos drew from ascendant genres like Dembow from Dominican don El Alfa and rising star Tokischa, and played host to one of the biggest U.S. sets by regional Mexican superstar Natanael Cano.
Dedicated to the ideals of peace, love, and perreo, the fans at the festival brought just as much energy as the performers, reveling in the communal enjoyment of their favorite music. SueƱos was created to be an inclusive event with a mission to celebrate and uplift Latin culture and the extraordinary music, people, food, and amazing energy that comes along with it. Fans at the festival enjoyed a curated selection of local food vendors, a one-of-a-kind mural installation by Chicago-based artist Kozmo, more festive art installations to add to the vibe, and a full complement of merch inspired by the festival and its host city.
