Top acts include: Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Paul Van Dyke , Moby, De La Soul, The Chemical Brothers, Damien Marley and more, but it's not just the A-Lister's that will be seen in the limelight.

A top vote getter in the festival's "Toast of the Coast Play-in Contest," Khaled M has been handpicked along with 9 other acts to battle it out in a private show. Those chosen to the Top 3 will receive a spot in the official North Coast Lineup which is expected to draw 40,000 fans in early September.

Most call it an opportunity of a lifetime, but it hasn't happened just by chance.
Khaled states, "My fans are the true soldiers, but while I'm excited about all of the votes, I just want a chance to perform. Hopefully my music can speak for itself."

The critics will be watching closely.

Fans will need to come out in droves not only to cheer Khaled on, but to show he has a loyal fan base like the voting suggested.
The "Toast of the Coast" play-in show will be held at The Tonic Room in Chicago beginning at 8:00p.m. on Thursday August 26, 2010.

In its inaugural year, The North Coast Music Festival is a 3-day event held in Chicago's Union Park on Labor Day Weekend.
