Empty Bottle

Warm Love Cool Dreams Music & Arts Festival from Empty Bottle Presents returns May 23rd & 24th at the Salt Shed in Chicago.

The wide-ranging, multi-genre festival takes place across the entirety of the Salt Shed facility: indoors, outside on the Fairgrounds, as well as the cocktail bar Three Top Lounge and arcade Elston Electric. Warm Love Cool Dreams proudly features the inclusion of Oddball Market and the Arts of Life Studio Sale, as well as river boat rides around Goose Island for attendees.

The festival boasts an exciting, eclectic lineup that runs the gamut, including Australian indie royalty Courtney Barnett, the genre-shapeshifting maestro Toro y Moi and legendary Scottish post-punk quartet The Jesus and Mary Chain. Alongside Chicago mainstays Tortoise, Whitney and Pixel Grip and sensations of the underground like Nourished By Time, Smerz and YHWH Nailgun, Warm Love Cool Dreams aims to amplify the next wave of boundary-pushing artists, connecting the city of Chicago to the worldwide avant-garde in one unified, forward-thinking celebration.

Two Day & Single Day Passes are on sale this Friday at 10am CST at warmlovecooldreams.com.
