Summer is gone, but it hasn’t quite taken music festivals with it. This weekend, hip-hop and EDM stars descend on Toyota Park for the three-day Freaky Deaky—a production of React Presents, who’ve also booked the two-day Reaction New Year’s Eve at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. And early next year, the folks at Lincoln Hall and Schubas bring back Tomorrow Never Knows for its 13th iteration. The festival kicks off Wednesday, January 11, and takes over Schubas, Lincoln Hall, Metro, and the Hideout for five days. (The Reader is a media sponsor.) Highlights on the bill, announced this morning, include postrock heroes Tortoise, emo heartthrobs Title Fight, and acerbic rapper Open Mike Eagle.
Schubas Wednesday, January 11: Big Thief, Sam Evian, Campdogzz, and TBD Thursday, January 12: Wand, Acid Dad, Flaural, and Joe Bordenaro & the Late Bloomers Friday, January 13: Foxtrott, Ian Sweet, In Tall Buildings, and TBD Saturday, January 14: Ceremony, Negative Scanner, Muuy Biien, and Hogg
