House music returns to its birthplace this summer as 

 in Chicago from August 29 to 31, 2025. Since launching in 2021, ARC has rapidly become one of North America’s most celebrated house and techno events, known for stacking lineups with intentaional icons, local legends, and forward-thinking talent in a city that lives and breathes dance music. This year, the festival also welcomes back the much-loved 

 takeover stage, transforming Union Park into an immersive, otherworldly playground all weekend long.

Created to emphasize the connection between Chicago and Detroit, Area 909 curates collaborations and back-to-back sets that represent the vibrant exchange between these two cities. The stage embodies ARC’s vision of bridging generations and sounds while keeping the focus firmly on dance floor authenticity.
