Presale ticketing for $365, four-day passes begins March 23 at 10 a.m., organizers say. Single day tickets will be available at a later date.

Last year, the event drew performances from major artists like Dua Lipa, J. Cole, j-hope, Green Day, Metallica and as well as other popular artists like Lil Baby, Machine Gun Kelly, Kygo and Charlie XCX.

The company behind the festival most recently agreed to another 10-year contract with Chicago, meaning the four-day music event will be in the city for at least another decade. Under the terms of the contract, the maximum number of attendees for the festival at any time can't exceed 115,000. 

Chicago's 2023 summer event schedule is already packed, with Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Park scheduled for July 21-23, and a NASCAR street race slated to take over downtown Chicago streets during the Fourth of July weekend.
