Chicago's independent music festival Summer's Last Dance (SLD) has unveiled a limited-edition Cherry Limeade Shandy in collaboration with Chicago-based brewery 93 Octane, complete with a Willy Wonka-style twist: a golden coin hidden inside one can in the production run.
The finder of that single coin earns backstage access, a meet-and-greet, and additional VIP experiences at this year's festival. The custom cans feature the festival's 2026 lineup, headlined by Grammy-nominated duo Big Gigantic (Live), with Henry Fong, Saxsquatch, and others also on the bill.
A Hometown Collaboration
The partnership is rooted in a local connection. Summer's Last Dance founder Bobby De Maria and 93 Octane's head of Brewery & Development Brad Hill grew up together and attended the same Chicago high school. Rather than simply announcing a lineup, the pair set out to create an experience for the community and reward one supporter in a memorable way.
