For the last three years, Red Bull has been throwing a 30-day music festival in LA. The festivals included a variety of music events every night across the city. Well, this year, it’s moving to Chicago. News came this morning of the move, and 30 Days in Chicago will kick off officially in November. Acts include big names and up-and-comers from many genres like Migos, Mura Masa, and Poliça. As was the case in years past, surprise guests and collaborations will be sprinkled throughout the event.

In addition to the traditional music sets, 30 Days in Chicago will feature a couple special events. Fake Shore Drive, a local Chicago hip-hop news source, will be having a special 10th anniversary party, featuring important local DJ’s, Rappers and some unannounced guests. While some of these special events are invite-only, tickets for everything else go on sale September 6th at 10am.

The conversation, including advice on how aspiring photographers can unlock their creative potential and push the limits of their art will lead into a live demo, where the photographers will provide hands-on experience to share their craft.
