 has quickly gained a reputation for being the finest Stateside example of intelligent house and techno programming. Now entering its third year, the lineups and experience only get grander as the years pass. An indelible part of that experience is the bright and vibrant colors of elrow that capture the concrete dancefloor in the corner of Union Park. It's the only time all year that elrow touches down for a full multi-day festival celebration in the US. And, if we're being honest, it is one of ARC's most exciting additions.

This year elrow brings its Nowmads theme to Chicago. Dance the weekend away in the shadow of the mystical star gate, where you can travel to a parallel planet of the past, present, and future. It's a fluorescent time-traveling expedition to a universe of floating phoenixes, towering pyramids, Cromagnons, Bedouins, and feudal lords.

And, of course, no elrow would be complete without the explosions of colorful confetti by the hour and showers of inflatables falling over the masses throughout the day. So make sure to reach out and grab something to add something weird and wonderful to your look.

While the sites of elrow are a feast for the eyes, the sounds of elrow perfectly capture the spirit of America's premiere house and techno festival. The weekend is packed to the rafters with incredible music featuring the most current and forward-thinking artists.

On the docket, we've got five incredible back-to-back sets! Multi-dimensional DJ, producer, and singer 

 pairs up with elrow resident and Spanish tech house titan 

. Varga is on double duty for the weekend, also dropping a set alongside Relief Records stalwart 

 joins Cocoon family artists and Deep Moves label head 

. And last but certainly not least, two dons of house music (and Chicago-born legends) 

Also coming through for some confetti-blasted absurdly good times are hands-up house purveyor 

 are bringing their wonderfully oddball take on house music to elrow Chicago. And rounding out the lineup are some international favorites: first lady of Defected 

, and leader of the Spanish tech house movement 

The elrow stage at ARC is always a massively fantastic spectacle of absurdity and accelerated fun. The festival itself offers so much to experience, so if you're planning on coming out to Chicago for Labor Day Weekend, you don't want to miss a minute.
