You won't have any trouble finding summer music festivals to attend in Chicago, but sometimes you need a weekend getaway that takes you outside the city. Fortunately, making a temporary escape from Chicago doesn't mean that you have to miss out on outdoor concerts, enthusiastic crowds and beverages served in plastic cups. Cities across the Midwest are hosting summer music festivals of their own—and some have even managed to book acts that won't be making a stop in Chicago. Plus, unlike Lollapalooza, most of these fests still have plenty of tickets available. Explore the region with our guide to the best Midwest summer music festivals.
