Festival & Lineup
Chicago’s ARC Music Festival returns for its fifth year, bringing together a powerhouse lineup of Detroit Techno, Chicago House, and everything in between. As the birthplace of house music, Chicago continues to be the perfect setting for this vibrant celebration of dance music culture.

This year’s headliners feature a star-studded mix of talent, including Eric Prydz, BoizE, and Hot Since 82. If you’re looking for a must-see set, don’t miss Cirez D—Prydz never disappoints when it comes to mind-blowing visuals and unforgettable performances.
Diversity in Talent
When it comes to diverse talent, ARC doesn’t hold back. Dance music, house, and techno originated as spaces for Black, Brown, and Queer artists to express themselves freely, and the festival continues to honor these roots. Legends like Honey Dijon and Cajmere will be there, paving the way for the next generation of artists.
