Chicago’s House Music Festival , Arc, Returns To Union Park For 5th Year Anniversary
The lineup features Eric Prydz returning to an all three alias festival showing of Eric Prydz, Pryda, and Cirez D for the second time ever in celebration of ARC’s five-year milestone. The lineup is further spearheaded by genre-defying superproducer Jamie xx, Chicago’s global house sensation John Summit, techno powerhouse Amelie Lens, pioneering veteran Richie Hawtin, and high energy crowd favorite FISHER.
This year’s B2B billing features a Chicago and Detroit meeting of the minds with Cajmere B2B Carl Craig, a pairing of legends with Green Velvet B2B Skepta Más Tiempo, and a first time back to back of Felix da Housecat B2B Mike Dunn.
Added highlights include Chicago torchbearers Honey Dijon B2B Derrick Carter, underground luminaries Boys Noize B2B VTSS, hard-hitting mainstays Adam Beyer B2B Layton Giordani, a meeting of new and old school with HAAi B2B Hiroko Yamamura, the US invasion of UK Garage represented by Skream B2B Hamdi (UKG Set), the eclectic high bpm stylings of Interplanetary Criminal B2B Malugi, and underground purveyors Eris Drew B2B Octo Octa.
ARC will also spotlight some of the biggest names in modern house including the collaborative Duck Sauce project of A-Trak and Armand van Helden, Knee Deep In Sound founder Hot Since 82, Life and Death label head DJ Tennis, Canadian icon BLOND:ISH, Germany’s Loco Dice, Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke, Swiss duo Adriatique, and Amsterdam tastemaker Ki/Ki. Additional highlights include Ireland export KETTAMA, BBC Radio’s Arielle Free, Book Club Radio sibling duo TINZO + JOJO, the infectious sounds of Shermanology, and breakout sensation it’s murph.
Heavier techno curation on the lineup is led by MOOD Records head Nicole Moudaber, Bristol-born Eli Brown, Berlin-based Alignment, rising UK star Effy, and high-octane selector Supergloss.
Paying homage to Chicago and Detroit’s historical roots while spotlighting the next generation of artists shaping its future, ARC’s lineup also features DJ Sneak B2B DJ Heather, father-daughter duo Floorplan, and HiTech, whose electrifying fusion of Juke, footwork, and techno represents the city’s ever-evolving underground sound.
