August 29–31, 2025 · Chicago, IL, USA · Union Park
ARC Music Festival is Chicago's flagship house and techno festival, celebrating five years of top-tier curation, legendary performances, and unbeatable vibes in the city where house music was born. It aims to bridge the gap between sub-genres of house and techno, bringing together new school and old school, and casual fans with techno tourists. The festival offers an immersive experience with curated production elements and art across four unique stage environments: The Grid, Elrow, Expansions, and Area 909. Beyond the main festival, ARC also features an extensive 'ARC After Dark' series of afterparties across various venues in Chicago.
