DJ Tennis

Step into a night of unrelenting rhythm and euphoric energy as DJ Tennis takes over Castaways, one of Chicago's most breathtaking waterfront venues. Perched on the edge of Lake Michigan, Castaways offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop where shimmering city lights meet open water — a setting as electric as the music itself. On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Italian maestro of deep and melodic house brings his signature sound to the Windy City for a night that blurs the line between dance floor and dreamscape. DJ Tennis — the alias of Riccardo Piperno — has become a revered figure in the global underground electronic music scene, celebrated for marathon sets that take listeners on emotional, hypnotic journeys. Known for his work with Life and Death Records and beloved sets at Panorama Bar, Dekmantel, and beyond, his ability to weave together deep house, ambient textures, and subtle techno is unmatched. Expect a seamless, evolving sonic narrative that will keep the crowd locked in from first beat to last. Castaways provides the perfect stage for this experience — its open-air terrace and lakeside panorama create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. Whether you're a die-hard electronic music devotee or simply seeking an unforgettable night out in Chicago, this event promises transcendent moments, incredible sound, and a dance floor that won't quit until the early hours.
