About:
Sound & Gravity returns to Chicago September 3-6 for its second edition after a brilliant and celebratory first year. The festival, brought to you by Constellation, will take place across multiple venues in Chicago’s Bricktown neighborhood and caters to adventurous, creative listeners eager to support a musical universe founded, curated, and run by artists. Festival and day passes grant pass holders entry to all festival shows and experiences, subject to capacity. A limited number of individual show tickets will be released shortly before the festival.
Enjoy river views while moving between the festival’s beloved spaces on foot or bike. Grab a drink at Judson & Moore, or a bite from one of our food vendors. Sound & Gravity is volunteer fueled so if you’d like to volunteer please reach out.

- Constellation

Ticketing:
Tickets for Sound & Gravity will go on sale Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the same day the full lineup is announced. Festival passes and day passes will be available for purchase at that time.
Festival Passes: $240 — access to festival programming across all days, subject to venue capacity.
Day Passes: $85 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), $50 (Thursday) — access to that day’s programming across venues, subject to venue capacity. After purchasing a festival or day pass, you’ll receive an email invitation to “Create Your Festival Experience,” where you can tell us which shows you’re most interested in; your responses help us plan and do our best (though we cannot guarantee) to make space for you at those performances.
A limited number of individual show/venue tickets, based on availability after pass-holder demand is assessed, will be on sale July 16, 2026, leading up to the festival on September 3–6, 2026.
