CHICAGO (WLS) -- The lineup for the 2024 Chicago House Music Festival lineup has been announced.
The house music genre was created in Chicago, and this year is its 40th anniversary.
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.
