Sueños Festival Day 1: Wisin Y Yandel and Feid Light Up Chicago’s Grant Park

Sueños Returns For Its Second Festival, Bringing Beautiful Weather and Performances From Legendary Duo Wisin Y Yandel, Red Hot Reggaetonero Feid, Icons like Arcangel, Chencho Corleone, and El Alfa “El Jefe,” Plus a Coronation for the Legendary Ivy Queen

The highly anticipated return of Sueños Music Festival’s second edition didn’t disappoint, bringing amazing weather, incomparable vibes, and extraordinary performances. Nestled in Chicago’s picturesque Grant Park, the celebration of Latin music and culture showcased the vibrancy and diversity of the artists and the community.

Superstar legends Wisin Y Yandel performed hit after hit from their deep catalog – “Ahora Es,” “El Telefono,” and “Noche De Sexo” had fans singing along word for word. The crowd shook when they brought out the night’s first headliner, Feid, to perform “Yandel 150,” his collaboration with Yandel. Feid’s performance set the tone for the night with his fiery headlining set, showing why he is the reggaetonero of the moment. 

Earlier in the day, Arcangel instigated some perreo intenso, and Chencho Corleone surprised fans with the debut of an unreleased single. The Dembow don El Alfa entranced the crowd with “La Mamá de la Mamá” and other hits, while Ivy Queen delivered an iconic set that left no doubt as to why she is known as La Reina de Reggaeton. Paopao melded reggaeton with alt-pop, while regional Mexican riser Gera MX and local favorite DJ Miriam rounded out the first day of the festival.

Proudly produced by the teams behind Baja Beach Fest and Lollapalooza, Sueños Festival (translation: dreams), was created to be an inclusive event with a mission to continue to celebrate and uplift Latin culture and the extraordinary music, people, food, and amazing energy that comes along with it. In addition to an entirely Latin lineup, the festival features a curated selection of Chicago’s best Latin food, art installations, a ferris wheel, multiple bars, and specialty cocktail lounges, and much more.
