Chasing Sun(Sets) II — House of Friends Preview: 2026 Summers End

THE MONOLITH PROJECT PRESENTS: CHASING SUN(SETS) II

HOUSE OF FRIENDS PREVIEW

THE NEXT CHAPTER RETURNS TO THE WATER

The date is locked. The lake is waiting. The artist is still under wraps.

On Saturday, August 22, CHASING SUN(SETS) returns to Castaways Beach Club for Chapter Two of the 2026 lakefront season—a full-day, open-air house music experience moving from afternoon warmth through golden hour, sunset and into the night.

A featured artist will lead the final hours of the experience. The announcement is coming.

Before the reveal takes control of the lakefront, HOUSE OF FRIENDS PREVIEW introduces a curated selection of emerging and established Chicago artists—the people and sounds shaping what comes next.

Chicago opens the chapter.

The featured artist carries it into sunset.

One lake. One skyline. One room without walls.
