Levity aim to break North American laser record with Snow Day 3 Octobot production across two nights in Chicago

With Snow Day returning for a third edition next January, Levity are preparing their biggest version of the event yet as they continue expanding both the production and scale of the series. Taking place across January 29–30, 2027 at Navy Pier’s Festival Hall in Chicago, Snow Day 3: The Octobot will introduce a new octopus-inspired stage concept, with lasers extending across its mechanical limbs and a goal of breaking the North American record for the most lasers used at a concert. The announcement builds on Snow Day 2 at Wintrust Arena, where their 360° Lasership production featured 330 lasers and set a new benchmark for the show, continuing a progression that has seen Snow Day grow significantly with each edition.

From the Lasership to the Octobot

The record attempt comes after a year in which lasers have become closely tied to Levity’s headline shows. Their Lasership production first appeared at Mission Ballroom in Denver, introducing a 360° setup that surrounded the trio with lasers during the set. A few months later, Levity brought the concept back to Chicago for Snow Day 2 at Wintrust Arena in February 2026, where the production expanded to 330 lasers and set the North American concert record they now intend to surpass.

Rather than bringing the Lasership back for another edition, Levity have created a completely different concept for Snow Day 3. The Octobot takes the form of a giant robotic octopus, with lasers positioned across its mechanical limbs throughout the stage design. Its debut will take place inside Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, which covers roughly 170,000 square feet and gives the production considerably more space to work across. Levity will also perform a different Octobot set on each night, with a secret b2b, additional support and an expanded sound system included across the weekend.

Snow Day Returns With Its Biggest Edition Yet

Since Snow Day first launched at Radius Chicago in January 2025, the event has changed considerably in only three editions. The original show was held across one night before Snow Day 2 brought the series to Wintrust Arena and introduced the 330-laser Lasership production. For 2027, Levity are extending the event across two nights for the first time, while the Octobot gives the Chicago series another production created specifically for this edition.

Before Snow Day 3 takes place in January, Levity will also debut Levi-Rocks Year 1: The Volcano during their first headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 2, 2026. The Colorado date will feature its own production concept, separate from both the Lasership and the Octobot, adding another large headline show to the trio’s calendar before their return to Chicago.

The Octobot therefore follows a period in which Levity have introduced several different production concepts around their headline sets, while Snow Day itself has developed from a single club date into a two-night event at Navy Pier. With 330 lasers currently standing as their previous record, Snow Day 3 now gives the trio the chance to surpass a benchmark they set less than a year earlier.
