REACTION NEW YEAR'S EVE Is Bringing You the Most Unforgettable NYE Yet!

Are you ready to party this NYE? Luckily, React Presents always has our backs when it comes to fun! And guess what? REACTION NEW YEAR’S is bringing you TWO DAYS of amazing music.

Headlining the New Year’s festivities will be four-time ARIA Music Award-winning Australian artist FLUME on Friday, December 30, along with decorated bass music powerhouses and longtime Chicago favorites ZEDS DEAD on Saturday, December 31.

In celebration of Chicago’s diverse musical landscape, Reaction NYE gathers a wide spectrum of genres, ranging from pioneers and trailblazers, to the freshest up-and-comers and local luminaries. Kicking things off before FLUME on Friday will be genre-busting singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist ANDERSON .PAAK with his band THE FREE NATIONALS, the king of moombahton and electronic music’s resident humorist DILLON FRANCIS, and Detroit rapper DANNY BROWN. Rounding out Friday’s lineup is Los Angeles based producer MR. CARMACK, heralded representative of the west coast’s wave of underground electronic and hip hop fusion, Chicago songstress and storyteller NONAME, fresh off her critically-acclaimed debut project Telefone, and breakthrough rapper/singer and producer KWEKU COLLINS, known for his intimate, hip-hop-informed bohemian rhapsodies.

The countdown to the New Year and ZEDS DEAD’s closing performance on Saturday will witness an immense roster of diverse opening acts, including internationally recognized “Trap God” of hip hop GUCCI MANE, coming off his ninth studio album Everybody Looking, with his tenth Woptober following later this month, and French future house extraordinaire TCHAMI. Chicago-bred electro-soul master of the live band/DJ hybrid experience MANIC FOCUS will also perform, along with English electronic duo BONDAX, known for their genre-transcending approach to funk and R&B. Rising Midwest artists also gracing Saturday’s lineup include singer/songwriter (and former frontwoman of acclaimed Chicago band Woo Park) EMILY NICHOLS, riding high off Strange, her debut EP release, and hip hop visionary/Zero Fatigue rapper SMINO.
