The free music festival will take place June 2 in Millennium Park.
The lineup of performing acts was announced Thursday by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the City of Chicago.
"House Music is a global phenomenon born and raised in Chicago 40 years ago, with roots that go back even further," Mayor Johnson said in a news release. "Like Blues, Jazz, and Gospel that came before, House is our true cultural heritage as a city-it galvanizes Chicagoans, celebrates our diversity, innovation, and joy and invites the world to join in."
