LakeShake is amazing! I’m so happy that there is a country festival in the city of Chicago! The grounds are always clean and the staff is super friendly! I’ve gone 3 years now and it’s always a wonderful time!!
everything was great, nice and polite security staff bathrooms were very clean in my area for this type of event easy to navigate around event parked in the parking garage, price was fare, and surprisingly easy to exit after event. something that could use improvement, lawn chair area needs to be expanded, few more food selection would be great
Venue and music was awesome...only downside was lack of transportation after each night.
Every act was amazing but first the trolleys need to happen again back and forth from the train station. Also metea needs to add an 11:40 on Sunday’s. People shouldn’t have to wait for an extra 1.5 hours to get on a train. Uber’s are expensive and so is parking at lakeshake.
Lake shake was very fun ! But, the mud problem needs to be fixed ! I lost my sandals there and ruined my shoes. This could be fixed by covering the crowd with a tarp to prevent getting rained on as well or using a different material on the ground . Overall, fun experience .
So happy they put astro turf down. There was still a lot of muddy spots but i can only imagine what it would have been like without the astro turf. The only negative i have is that if you have lawn passes you only get port-a-potty instead of the nice AC flushing toliets that they get in GA.
This was my first time every attending Lake Shake. The venue was great! I was amazed how close you could get to the stage. I will definitely be going next year!
Music was awesome! However, the taxi/Uber availablilty was a nightmare!
Great crowd friendly staff Awesome bands. This is the best place in Chicago for a concert. Can't wait for next year!
This was our second year of VIP at Lakeshake. We go to a lot of country festivals and though I always want this one to be better than it is, it’s still a good time. We were the only ones sitting in our seats and they checked our bands to make sure we were supposed to be there, which is the right thing to do. My problem is that once the headliners went on our section became insane. Everyone who was not ticketed for our section care and started dancing and standing in front of us. We pay the insane amount of money for VIP because we don’t want to be on the floor with the masses. We were in tow 4 last year and row 2 this year. I won’t buy VIP again unless we can get in row 1 so people are not pushing in front of us. They even crawled up over the balcony from the other section. I really dislike the huge beers, I can’t drink them before they are warm Even with a koozie, so overall it’s a really frustrating experience for beverages. 25 oz beers are not fun and everyone in line complains about them. The signage needs improvement. Until you are steps away from the front of GA security you have no idea that there is a line for those without bags. VIP line isn’t even marked, so the first day we stood in GA line even though we asked for the VIP line they said there wasn’t one. Day 2 and 3 were great because someone said VIP over there. I don’t understand why you can’t buy daily VIP passes, Friday and Saturday were completely empty in our section, hence the reason they were jumping over the railing from the other section. But it would be nice to have the option to buy those passes, we would have brought friends. At least allow the passes to be single day bands like my favorite Country Jam. After all you don’t really get anything included for VIP like other festivals. I don’t understand why presale tickets for 2019 don’t happen like other festivals? Music was great, artists did not disappoint and although this particular year the negatives outweighed the positives I am hopefully that advances in the right direction continue to happen.
Friday night was great! Saturday not so much! Too crowded, very muddy, Dierks was disappointing! Had a 3 day wristband but skipped Sunday night. Wished Sunday would have started and ended earlier! Best lineup on Sunday!
Artists play for just an hour. Pretty disappointing for the headliners. Blake Shelton was obviously intoxicated and didnt even play the prominent guitar parts himself.
This years show was AMAZING! Worth getting there early every day to see the early performances. LoCash, Lee Brice, Russell Dickerson, Chris Lane... SHOW STEALERS. Had a blast. I cannot wait for next year. Obviously the headliners of each day were perfect too. Thanks for a great Weekend LakeShake!!!!!!!
This is my 3rd year going and it just keeps getting better and better! I love LS!!!!!
Overall great event and lineup. Definitely would do it again. The ground area was also a good experience.
LakeShake is an event I look forward to every year. The headliners are always great and Northerly Island is an amazing venue!
