The experience
What's special
Beyond Wonderland Midwest is Insomniac's Chicago-area edition of the Alice-in-Wonderland-themed electronic dance music festival. Held in the Chicagoland region and moving to Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet for an expanded four-day camping edition in 2027, it offers multiple stages of house, bass and other EDM styles.
How it works
The festival is held at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, with gates open 4 PM to 2 AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 11 to 13, 2027. Three-day passes are general admission at $169.99, GA+ with expedited entry and air-conditioned restrooms at $219.99, and VIP at $269.99. Camping passes cost $149 for a car and from $399 for an RV, and camping opens Thursday with a pre-party. There is no re-entry, and entry involves a thorough search and photo ID.
Who it suits
This is an adults-only dance festival: entry requires being 18 or older, and VIP and alcohol are 21 and over. It suits fans of house, bass and festival-scale electronic music, particularly people who like a costumed, Wonderland-themed crowd. Groups can use the four-pass camping packages, and the 4-day camping option suits anyone who wants to stay on site rather than commute from Chicago.
What people love
Reviewing the first Chicago edition in 2024 at the former lakefront site, EDMTunes praised the stage layout, with a few minutes between stages and almost no sound bleed, and called the sound the best the city had heard in a long time. The reviewer found only positive vibes in the crowd, even through heavy rain and mud. The 2027 show moves to a new venue with camping.
Last time around (2026)
The 2026 edition was held in the Chicago area, with attendees reporting good vibes and a friendly crowd, though rain affected the weekend. For 2027 the festival moves to Chicagoland Speedway and expands to four days of music and camping.

Getting there
Nearest airport ORD.
How do I get to Beyond Wonderland Midwest?
By car
Most people drive to Beyond Wonderland Midwest. The nearest major airport is ORD, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
CTA Blue Line runs 24/7 direct from ORD to the Loop (no transfer, ~45 min). From the Loop, Metra's Rock Island District line runs from LaSalle Street Station to the Joliet Gateway Center (Joliet's Metra/Amtrak/Pace hub), a ~40-mile, roughly 1-hour commuter-rail trip. From Joliet Gateway Center it is still ~8 miles / ~15-20 min by car to Chicagoland Speedway, historically (NASCAR race weekends) a shuttle bus has run from Joliet's Union Station/Gateway Center to the speedway, and Pace Route 504 also connects the Joliet Transit Center area toward the speedway (~49 min per Rome2Rio). Neither the Metra-to-speedway shuttle nor Pace Route 504 is confirmed as operating for Beyond Wonderland specifically, this whole multi-leg public-transit path is offered as the realistic best-effort route, not an official festival-branded one; it involves 3+ transfers across 2 hrs+ total, which most fly-in attendees will likely trade for a rideshare or rental car once the festival's own transportation page publishes final details.
Book / infoSame downstream Loop-to-Joliet Metra/Pace path as the ORD entry above, but starting from the Orange Line (which runs roughly 5am-11pm, not 24hr) instead of the Blue Line. Same caveat applies: the Joliet-to-speedway final leg (shuttle/Pace 504/rideshare) is not confirmed as festival-operated.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Standard curbside/designated-zone pickup at ORD. For this venue specifically, expect the ~45-mile, 55-70 min drive south to Joliet (I-55/I-355) the official festival site itself estimates. The festival's own Transportation & Parking page states rideshare pickup/drop-off lot locations at the venue are still 'coming soon' as of August 2026; the venue-side pickup zone is not yet confirmed.
Book / infoFor Chicagoland Speedway specifically, use the festival's own ~35-mile, 45-55 min estimate; venue-side rideshare pickup zone details are 'coming soon' per the official site.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
