Chance the Rapper has never been one to follow in anyone's footsteps, and today he's marking another milestone: the first-ever music festival at the Chicago White Sox stadium U.S. Cellular Field in his hometown, set for Sept. 24, 2016 (while the Sox are in Cleveland). And he's bringing along collaborators and friends like Skrillex, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Uzi Vert and surprise guests for his Magnificent Coloring Day, which he announced this morning (July 25).
The Magnificent Coloring Day, his first-ever festival, is the latest in a series of milestones for Chance in the past few years; in 2015, his collaborative project with Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment, Surf, became the first release to be sold for free via the iTunes Store, while his latest solo project, Coloring Book, became the first release to chart on the Billboard 200 through streaming numbers alone. The festival arrives in the middle of Chance's Magnificent Coloring Tour, which kicks off Sept. 15 in San Diego and will run through Oct. 21.
