This weekend was a tough one for music festivals, as two major events ended up getting cut short due to extreme weather conditions.

Jack Harlow’s two-day Gazebo Festival started on Saturday, May 25, but the second day was canceled before it even began. The area of the Louisville, Kentucky festival was put on a tornado watch, and ultimately, Day 2 was called off.

A statement from organizers said in part, “The safety of our patrons, artists and staff is paramount. Due to continuing hazardous conditions throughout the early afternoon and a second wave of weather expected this evening, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the remainder of Gazebo Festival.”

Chicago’s Sueños Festival suffered a similar fate. The city faced rain and thunderstorms on Sunday the 26th, enough to delay the festival’s start. Doors ended up opening at 4 p.m. local time, instead of at noon as initially scheduled. At about 8 p.m., minutes after Maluma had taken the stage, the festival was evacuated.

It wasn’t just those two parts of the country, either: CenTex Country Music Fest — which was set to go down in Temple, Texas on June 1 — has also been canceled due to damage a May 22 storm caused to the festival grounds.

This all comes after this year’s Lovers & Friends Festival was canceled earlier this month, also for weather-related reasons.

Chicago will be a Latin music lover’s dream destination this weekend: On May 25 and 26, the 2024 edition of the Sueños is taking place. The 18+ event boasts a lineup featuring favorites like Bizarrap, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma, and Peso Pluma.

If you’d like to attend last-minute, unfortunately, passes are sold out. However, you could try getting one via the festival’s waitlist, which offers the chance to buy passes that have been returned.

Aside from the music, Sueños (now in its third year) features a bunch of locally sourced Latin foot vendors, dozens of bars, experiential activations, and plenty more. Basically, the Latin experience doesn’t end with what’s happening with the artists on the stage.

Chicago’s Sueños Festival is set to take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25 and 26) in Grant Park, with Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma, and Ivan Cornejo headlining the popular event. Other acts on the 2024 lineup include Young Miko, Xavi, Latin Mafia, Gabito Ballesteros, Jowell y Randy, Bizarrap, Bad Gyal, and many more.

As fans gear up to head to Grant Park to watch their favorite performers, some who don’t have tickets yet might wonder how they can still attend.

Here’s what to know about the current ticket availability for Sueños Festival.

Is Sueños Festival 2024 Sold Out?

Right now, yes, this year’s Sueños Festival is currently sold out. Those who are still hoping to go can try joining the waitlist through the festival’s official website. This includes a separate waitlist depending on the tier of ticket you might want, as four levels are being offered.

Fans could also try their luck at finding a resale pass through other methods, but it might be risky in terms of scams or higher prices.

Still, given that the festival has only been running for a few years, the fact that they sold out of all their passes and types speaks to just how great the 2024 iteration should be.

Some of the artists mentioned here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Next week, the Sueños Music Festival kicks off in Grant Park, Chicago. According to the fest’s website, it is currently 95% sold out — and with very good reason. Across the two days, May 27 and May 28, Grupo Firme, Nicky Jam, Wisin y Yandel, and Feid are headlining.

However, the rest of the lineup is equally stacked, so many attendees might be wondering when they’ll be able to catch their favorite performers. Or if they’ll be any overlap in between the set scheduling.

Here’s what to know about the 2023 festival set times.

The tunes kick off on May 27 starting at noon with DJ Gordo in thirty-minute increments. He will be followed by PaoPao, Yovngchimi, and Gera Mx. From there with Ivy Queen at 2:50 p.m., it increases mostly to fourty minutes, followed by Chencho. With an exception from a thirty-minute set from DJ Miriam at 4:40-5:10, things then return for longer performances.

Arcangel plays from 5:10-5:50, then El Alfa from 6:20. To close out Saturday night, Feid plays 7:30-8:15, and Wisin y Yandel takes the full hour from 9-10 p.m.

As there is only one stage, thankfully, attendees won’t have to worry about hopping across massive festival grounds. Sunday follows a similar schedule format. Some things worth noting are Eladio Carrión from 4:05-4:45 p.m., Becky G starting at 5:15, Nicky Jam at 7:30, and the headliners Grupo Firme starting at 8:50-9:50.

Last year was the first annual Sueños Festival. It was hard to beat with headliners like J Balvin, Ozuna, and Wisin y Yandel. Taking place at Chicago’s Grant Park, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot said, “Chicago is home to one of the largest Mexican populations in the country–making events like Sueños Festival an important opportunity to highlight the culture and the cultural contributions of our Latino community as a whole.”

The lineup for this year has just been revealed and it’s nothing short of exciting. On May 27 and 28, the festival will welcome back Wisin y Yandel, as well as Grupo Firme as headliners. Other acts on the roster include Arcangel, Ivy Queen, Becky G, Nicky Jam, and more.

Tickets are available for early access on Thursday, February 2 on their site.

In a 2022 interview with the founder of Sueños Festival, Aaron Ampudia, he discussed his objective of the project: “I feel super proud to be able to put on a Latin festival like Sueños in Chicago for all the Latinos and everyone else who enjoys our culture and music,” he said. “To my knowledge, Chicago has not seen anything like this in the Latin space yet, so it’s an honor to make this one happen with all our partners. It wouldn’t be possible without them.”

Summertime in Chicago’s Grant Park is inextricably tied to Lollapalooza festival. Now, the organizers behind Lollapalooza, Rosarito’s surging Baja Beach Fest, and Chicago-based promoter Reventon, are producing a new reggaeton and Música Latina festival called Sueños, and the opening lineup is loaded.

The two-day festival takes place in Grant Park on Memorial Day Weekend from May 28th to 29th. The headliners for the first annual Sueños include reggaeton behemoths J Balvin, Ozuna, and Wisin y Yandel. The vision for the fest is to better represent Chicago’s Latinx community and Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot echoed that in a statement: “Chicago is home to one of the largest Mexican populations in the country–making events like Sueños Festival an important opportunity to highlight the culture and the cultural contributions of our Latino community as a whole.”

Baja Beach Fest’s Aaron Ampudia added that “Reggaetón is a massive genre but remains underserved by live festivals in the US. We’re extremely proud to expand to the US and serve our community and everyone who enjoys Latin music.”

Other acts on the bill include Jhay Cortez, Myke Towers, El Alfa, Sech, Natanael Cano, and a lot more.

Check out the festival poster with the full lineup below. Pre-sale registration is open now here and the pre-sale begins Friday, February 11th at 12 p.m. CT. General on-sale begins Friday at 2 p.m. CT, all at the same link.
