ARC Music Festival is back for its milestone fifth year, bringing an electrifying lineup to Union Park this August 29–31, 2025. In an exciting return, Eric Prydz will once again deliver an all-three-alias spectacle, performing under his given name, along with sets as Pryda and Cirez D.
Joining him at the top of the bill are boundary-pushing producer Jamie xx, Chicago’s hometown hero John Summit, techno powerhouse Amelie Lens, industry legend Richie Hawtin, and high energy crowd favourite FISHER.
This year’s back-to-back sets are stacked with legendary pairings and fresh collaborations. Expect a monumental Chicago-Detroit showdown as Green Velvet plays under his Cajmere alias B2B with Carl Craig, as well as joining forces with Skepta (Más Tiempo) for a high-energy fusion of house and grime.
Meanwhile, house music icons Felix da Housecat and Mike Dunn will unite for the first time ever in a must-see performance. Other heavy hitting duos on the decks include – Honey Dijon B2B Derrick Carter, Adam Beyer B2B Layton Giordani, HAAi B2B Hiroko Yamamura, Skream B2B Hamdi (UKG Set) and Interplanetary Criminal B2B Malugi.
ARC 2025 isn’t holding back when it comes to house and techno royalty. The lineup boasts the return of Duck Sauce (the iconic duo of A-Trak and Armand van Helden), the deep and hypnotic beats of Hot Since 82, the genre-blurring soundscapes of DJ Tennis, and the ever-eclectic BLOND:ISH.
Tech-house lovers can also look forward to sets from Loco Dice, Claude VonStroke and Nic Fanciulli plus genre-bending stars like KETTAMA, Effy, and DJ Tennis.
As always, ARC is dedicated to honouring Chicago and Detroit’s rich dance music legacy while spotlighting the next generation of artists pushing the sound forward. This year’s lineup proudly features legendary house and techno purveyors like DJ Sneak B2B DJ Heather, Floorplan (Robert & Lyric Hood), and HiTech, whose explosive fusion of Juke, footwork, and techno showcases the city’s ever-evolving underground scene.
