THANK YOU!
We (Dave & Sean) would like to say we are so grateful for the overwhelming support we received for the inaugural Heavy Chicago Fest!
We have been indie guys our whole lives and we wanted this event to reflect that and show what “Indie” and “DIY” can achieve!
We were so excited to share our line up and we think that ALL 14 acts came, saw and crushed!
We are so honored that in it’s first year did so well and we will definitely be back for HEAVY CHICAGO 2024
A big THX to: The band’s, Avondale Music Hall, Diversified Audio (Mark Bales!), Selena Fragassi PR, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Kuma’s Corner, Few Spirits, Dark Matter Coffee, Wami Tickets & Adam, Paul Natkin, Laura Roeper, Robbie Vasquez, Jamie Ludwig of the Chicago Reader, Mike Engel of Illinois Entertainer, Andrew Dowd of Chicago Block Club, Chris Morgan, Nick Lawrie, Brian Nielsen, Lidia Wachowska (who did a amazing promotional job!!!) and too all of you who came out and supported this event.
Onward to Heavy Chicago 2024. We look forward to working with you all next year as it will be bigger and better!

The Location and line up
We are so excited to be partnering with Live Wire, Kuma’s and Pabst Blue Ribbon to bring a brand-new metal festival to Chicago, hosted in the city's newest music venue, Avondale Music Hall, which even Time Out says is located in one of the buzziest neighborhoods in the world. Three shows over two weekends will bring some of the heaviest music the Northside has seen, including Trouble's first Chicago show in over five years, Acid King, Corrosion of Conformity, DRI on their 40th anniversary tour for Crossover and the ONLY show in 2023 for Repulsion. We wanted to make sure to bring out as many metalheads as possible and have kept the prices super affordable with three-day tickets starting at $100 (that's just $33.33 a day). We look forward to seeing everyone in the inaugural year in what we hope is an annual event," says Last Rites founder Sean Duffy.
