Sueños 2026 returns May 23-24: Tickets

It’s time to start planning your Memorial Day visit to Chicago because Sueños Festival returns to Grant Park for its fifth year on May 23rd and 24th, and organizers have confirmed its first headliner for 2026 will be regional Mexican group Fuerza Regida.

Over the last year, Fuerza Regida has kept a strong pace. Their 2025 album 111XPANTIA made a major chart statement, including a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200, and they’re heading into the 2026 GRAMMYs with a nomination for Best Música Mexicana Album for their project, MALA MÍA. Watch the music video for “Marlboro Rojo,” the group’s latest song surging to 500M streams.

In the announcement, Sueños also shared that 40+ more artists will be revealed on the full 2026 lineup, spread across three stages, along with new activations, food, and more. The full lineup is expected to drop soon.
