Northwestern University
Hop on Lakeshore Drive and you are just moments away from one of the most flourishing music scenes in the country. Our second Big Ten university on the list, Northwestern is surrounded by events and local shows year round. Lollapalooza, North Coast, and Future Sound have all held residency in The Windy City and the multiple venues and arenas, including the famous Concord Music Hall and The Mid Chicago, consistently host the top names in electronic dance music.
