Eric Prydz, Eli Brown, John Summit, Nicole Moudaber, Jamie xx, Richie Hawtin, Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, and more are playing ARC Music Festival this year.
ARC Music Festival has dominated the landscape of house and techno-centered festivals since its debut edition in 2021. The beloved festival is approaching its fifth year at Union Park in Chicago on August 29- 31, and Auris Presents has delivered their most robust lineup yet.
Recent editions of ARC Music Festival have delivered some of the hottest lineups in the scene that are teeming with established talent and rising stars alike. This year is no different with immediate standouts including massive acts like Adam Beyer, Green Velvet, Nicole Moudaber, Amelie Lens, Richie Hawtin, John Summit, Jamie xx, Skream, Honey Dijon, Boys Noize, and Duck Sauce. Not to mention that Eric Prydz will return to the festival, performing under his standard alias, along with a Cirez D set and a Pryda opening party, similar to the first edition of the festival years ago.
Other heavy hitters for this year’s festival also include FISHER, Claude VonStroke, Eli Brown, Derrick Carter, Anfisa Letyago, Nic Fanciulli, Paco Osuna, Kettama, and Josh Baker. The explosive rise of Eli Brown, Layton Giordani, it’s murph, SOSA, Max Styler, Interplanetary Criminal, and Riordan will also be displayed. Drum and bass legend Sub Focus is a surprise addition to this year’s lineup. He and new Chicago resident Hamdi will surely bring a touch of bass into the festival otherwise dominated by house and techno.
Beyond standard sets, ARC Music Festival has historically brought some epic back-to-back action into the mix. This year offers plenty for attendees to catch, with notable pairings including Boys Noize b2b VTSS, Gene Farris b2b Tini Gessler, SOSA b2b Classmatic, Rossi. b2b Josh Baker, and HAAi b2b Hiroko Yamamura. Additionally, Skream and Hamdi will perform a UKG set together.
With three full days of house and techno excellence in store, one can only hope that the set conflicts stay to a minimum. Stay tuned for additional updates from Auris Presents as the official after parties and other exciting announcements are sure to surface in the coming months.
