DNCE performs at North Avenue Beach in Chicago

Joe Jonas, lead singer of DNCE, performs at Castaways at North Avenue Beach.

On Saturday DNCE performed an exclusive show at Castaways at North Avenue Beach. The band is currently on tour with Selena Gomez.

About a week ago, I got one of those e-mail blast newsletters from 103.5 KISS FM which included details about a contest to win passes to see DNCE. All you had to do was tweet a photo or video of yourself getting cake smashed in your face and you were entered for a chance to win passes. My sister and I both entered and we each won a pair of passes.
Check out mine below if you missed it!

DNCE performed "Toothbrush" and their smash hit "Cake By The Ocean." It was a very intimate performance, I would say there were only about 30 to 40 people on the patio deck. Everyone had the chance to get up close and have a great view for the perfect Snapchat photo and video. I'm pretty sure Joe Jonas was looking directly at my phone as I took a Snapchat video but my sister who was standing in front of me said the same thing...

The band played acoustic versions of their songs and they seemed relaxed. It was extremely hot especially with the sun beaming down us so thank you DNCE for starting on time!

As soon as they finished the band left the stage and headed down toward their vehicle. Security was blocking the entrance we came in to keep everyone from rushing down the stairs. Apparently we were one of the few people smart enough to go find one of the other exits because everyone else just sort of stood around it seemed like. Our efforts paid off because I got a selfie with Joe as he made his way back to his car.
