Preview: Sound & Gravity Returns for Another Year of Amazing Music

This summer's music festival lineups are shaping up to be pretty fantastic and we can add one more to the list. Back in February Sound & Gravity announced the second showcase of eclectic music genres would be taking place September 3-6, but today the festival released their full lineup/schedule and it's a doozy!

Sound & Gravity is a multi-venue festival that is certainly growing as it will bring together over 50 musical acts at wonderful stages in the Bricktown/Avondale neighborhood, including Constellation, Hungry Brain, Judson & Moore, Beat Kitchen, Guild Row, Rockwell on the River; as well as two additional stages this year: Rockwell Patio and Athenaeum in Lakeview. Sound & Gravity also serves as a fundraiser for Constellation Performing Arts, a not-for-profit organization that is a cornerstone of Chicago’s music scene.

The sophomore edition of Sound & Gravity keeps the amazing curation going with a stellar lineup of musicians including Grouper, Son Lux, Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer, Contre Jour, Marc Ribot, Hailu Mergia, American Analog Set, Alabaster DePlume, Lucrecia Dalt, Mary Halvorson & Sylvie Courvoisier, and many more. The local flavor is, once again, incredibly strong as the lineup also features acts with strong Chicago ties like Natural Information Society & Bitchin Bajas; Joe McPhee, Ken Vandermark & Chris Corsano; Resavoir; Uhlmann, Johnson, Wilkes; Gregory Uhlmann Extra Stars; Dos Santos; Twin Talk; Advance Base; Jessica Risker; Leroy the Poet; Official Claire; TV Buddha; Uniflora; Microplastique and more. You can check out the full lineup below and the schedule for all four days at their website!

Tickets for the second edition of Sound & Gravity are on sale NOW! There will be a nice range of ticket options including an all-event four-day pass for $253.88, a $93.26 single-day pass, and a Thursday opening night pass for $56.99.
