Sunshine and punishing 90-degree temperatures greeted Spring Awakening Music Festival attendees on Friday, as the summer music festival kicked off a weekend of EDM and DJs. The event's relocation to Addams/Medill Park (near Little Italy and University Village) didn't seem to dissuade guests, who showed up in droves to catch headlining sets from Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Jamie xx and more. Take a look at all the pyrotechnics, light shows and tank tops we captured on the festival's first day.
