There’s an all-star talent roster on deck for the return of ARC to Chicago’s Union Park this Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 30 – Sept. 1).
House Comes Home this Labor Day Weekend as ARC Music Festival returns to Union Park in Chicago for a jam-packed 3-day affair. From August 30 through September 1, ARC brings a freshly announced lineup for its return, which includes Armand van Helden, Carl Cox B2B Green Velvet, Charlotte de Witte, Derrick Carter B2B Mark Farina, Detroit Love (Carl Craig B2B Moodymann), Disclosure, Dom Dolla, Gorgon City, Hiroko Yamamura B2B DJ Hyperactive, Honey Dijon, Idris Elba, Jayda G, Kaskade Redux, LP Giobbi, Purple Disco Machine, Reinier Zonnneveld Live, Sara Landry, Skepta, Sven Väth, and many more.
Since its inception, ARC has bridged a diverse range of global and local musical influences and audiences, entrenching itself as a cornerstone in the global festival circuit while shining a spotlight on the rich cultural heritage of Chicago. ARC’s fusion of cutting-edge production, progressive lineup curation, and emphasis on educating the next generation of electronic music listeners on its origins has elevated its impact and appeal to an international scale.
Led by Auris Presents, Chicago’s premier producer of experiential festivals and events, ARC fans will also be treated to an expansive slate of intimate ARC After Dark afterparties late into the morning hours. After Dark programming will run five days from Thursday to Monday, showcasing a variety of uniquely curated parties featuring artist aliases, special b2b’s, label takeovers, plus select acts outside of the festival lineup. The after-party series spans over 13 venues, 30 parties, and 80 artists, and is exclusively available only to ARC festival pass holders.
Global house and techno fans will be treated to an immersive journey at ARC, with curated production elements and art to guide them between each of its four distinct stage environments. ARC will return all four of its stages from 2023 including the industrial Grid stage, the interactive and psychedelic production of Spain’s celebrated elrow alongside its renowned performers, the deeper sonics of the Expansions stage, and the newest fan-favorite, Area 909 – an homage to house and techno’s foundation in a raw and energetic setting.
Tickets for ARC ’24 go on sale this Friday at 12pm CST at arcmusicfestival.com.
