ARC Music Festival is making a triumphant return to Chicago’s Union Park for its 2025 edition, and once again, it’s shaping up to be an unmissable weekend for house and techno lovers. Known for bringing together global electronic music icons while celebrating Chicago’s deep-rooted legacy as the birthplace of house music, ARC has just dropped a star-studded lineup stacked with legendary acts, emerging talent, and genre-pushing innovators.
Leading this year’s bill is a diverse mix of heavy-hitters, including Eric Prydz, Jamie xx, FISHER, John Summit, Amelie Lens, and Skepta’s Más Tiempo project, alongside dance music staples Duck Sauce, Honey Dijon, and Blond:ish. Returning to ARC after blowing minds in previous years, Eric Prydz is set to deliver yet another masterclass in sound design and immersive production, while Jamie xx brings his genre-bending electronic stylings to the festival for the very first time.
One of the defining aspects of ARC is its ability to seamlessly blend underground talent with globally recognized names, making it a premier destination for electronic music purists. Other must-see artists on the 2025 roster include Claude VonStroke, AYYBO, Hamdi, Interplanetary Criminal, Max Styler, NOTION, Sub Focus, Patrick Topping, ANOTR, Seth Troxler, and Carlita, all of whom have made waves with their forward-thinking productions and dynamic live sets.
Since its debut in 2021, ARC has rapidly solidified itself as one of the most essential electronic music festivals in North America, thanks to its unparalleled lineup curation, immersive stage designs, and a unique focus on bridging the gap between house and techno’s past, present, and future. With Chicago’s rich house music history as its foundation, ARC delivers an experience unlike any other, celebrating the sounds that shaped the global dance music landscape while continuing to push the boundaries of what’s next.
