In today’s saturated festival landscape, few events need no introduction, Tomorrowland is one of them. As one of the most famous music festivals in the world, Tomorrowland is heralded as a Mecca of sorts for dance music. Rave kids around the world dream of making the special pilgrimage to Belgium. This summer–the fest’s 18th anniversary–the Tomorrowland team will host nearly 600 DJs on 14 stages over two weekends this July.


Though the team behind Tomorrowland is excellent at curating a diverse lineup, we here at Gray Area are most interested in their killer roster of house and techno, highly-anticipated stage takeovers, and our GA family of artists who will be making an appearance.




During Weekend one, Adam Beyer’s imprint Drumcode takes over the Atmosphere stage. Juliet Fox, Eli Brown, and a rocking HI-LO B2B Layton Giordani performance will welcome you to the darker side of dance with an all-out techno rager.

On weekend two, Black Girl Magic pioneer and Beyoncé collaborator Honey Dijon will take over the Core stage. Exhale, Anjunabeats, and Glitterbox are also granted stage takeovers during the sprawling six days of music.



On the singular artist front, it’s hard to choose just a few standouts. Beatport’s #2 artist of all time, Purple Disco Machine, and “no nonsense” tech house superstar Cloonee will play The Crystal Garden. Amelie Lens and Anfisa Letyago ring in the mainstage on night one. And that’s only the beginning. Wax Motif, Afrojack, Black Coffee, Dixon, Vintage Culture, I Hate Models, Above & Beyond, and Armin Van Buuren are all slated to play. Did we mention that this is a really, really big event?

But of course, the music is only partially what draws people in throngs to De Schorre. For five days, tens of thousands gather in DreamVille - Tomorrowland’s manifested fairytale village of indescribable wonders and magical secrets. From DIY camping to private countryside mansions, there are innumerable ways to experience Tomorrowland.




Sprawling across over 9,000 acres and featuring the largest and most elaborate stage of any festival, walking into Tomorrowland truly makes you feel like you’ve entered another world. This is why people come in droves from all across the globe year after year to experience Tomorrowland’s magic.

Okay, it’s about time we talked about elrow New York. It seems like ages since we danced together under the blast of a confetti cannon. This is the longest we’ve ever waited for the return of the wildest party in the world to touch back down in New York. And if we’re being honest, we are hungry for a night of technicolor madness, larger-than-life decorations, and a hailstorm of inflatables—it’s been too long! We’re excited to announce that the wait is nearly over. elrow will make its triumphant return to Brooklyn on July 22nd, 2023.




Yes, that’s right, New York’s favorite two-stage mini-festival is back for an epic journey into the absurd and fun-loving world of infamous Spanish party purveyors, elrow.










And speaking of music, you’re probably wondering what the lineup will look like. Of course, we must keep some things under wraps for a bit longer. However, with previous lineups that have included house heavyweights like Cloonee, Paco Osuna, Lee Foss, Skream, and LP Giobbi, you know that we’re curating a remarkable and singular sonic experience.




elrow NYC: Summer Festival 2023

The Brooklyn Mirage

ARC Music Festival–Chicago's premier house and techno festival–has just announced its initial lineup for 2023. Following its successful expansion to three days last year, ARC has firmly established itself as a hard-hitting festival in the global circuit, consistently attracting top-tier international talent. This year ARC Festival will return to the home of house music at Union Park from September 1-3.



As expected, the ARC Music Festival boasts an impressive roster of world-renowned house and techno artists. Among the slew of notable names are ARC favorite Eric Prydz, who will showcase his iconic and innovative HOLO show, and Adam Beyer, returning for a solo set after last year's monumental back-to-back performance with Prydz under his Cirez D alias. Other headliners include Afterlife duo Tale Of Us and Chicago-born John Summit, making his ARC Festival debut.



But Summit isn’t the only Chicagoan on the lineup. A pillar of the ARC ethos is the celebration of house music’s foundations. The fest always works to celebrate those who’ve helped to build house music culture. This year, modern heavyweights like Summit sit beside pioneers such as Derrick Carter, Gene Farris, Dj Lady D, and DJ Heather.

Looking at the 2023 festival circuit, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better dance music showcase than ARC Festival. From the lilting Afro house of South African Themba to the atmospheric progressive of Tinlicker, there’s something on this lineup for all dance fans. Mochakk, Nina Kraviz, Eli Brown, and Anifsa Letyago bring some hypnotic, driving techno. Hot Since 82, Walker & Royce and Fleur Shore serve some tech house heat. Vintage Culture brings the deep house pop blend. Miss Monique has your happy progressive house, and Boys Noize brings his industrial take on electro house



Something else exciting about the ARC Festival lineup is the killer B2B performances on the docket. Fisher b2b Loco Dice b2b Nic Fanciulli will be the tech house trio to end it all. Chloe Caillet and Carlita will go back to back with their kaleidoscopic, funky sound. Emotions will fly at Crisoph and Franky Wah’s b2b set. Mall Grab and KETTAMA will combine their raw and gritty house in a b2b, plus Hiroko Yamamura and DJ Minx will join forces for what is sure to be some floor-rocking techno and house.


Other highlights include Grammy-winning South African artist Black Coffee, serotonin soldier The Blessed Madonna, and South Korea's sensation Peggy Gou. Also on the bill are Innervisions label leaders Dixon and Âme with a special B2B, and the legendary UK pioneer Fatboy Slim, returning after last year's triumphant performance on the elrow stage.



Elrow, the beloved Spanish party collective, is set to make its highly anticipated return to ARC Music Festival with its exclusive stage takeover, making it the only US festival to host elrow this year. Known for its signature psychedelic production and over-the-top surprises, elrow has become one of the most celebrated brands in the world, with bespoke events taking place annually in Barcelona, Ibiza, New York, London, and Dubai, to name a few.



Set amidst the sprawling 14 acres of Union Park, ARC Music Festival promises curated, immersive production at each of its four stages. The Grid stage will feature its traditional industrial vibe, while Spain's beloved elrow promises to be as wild and outrageous as ever. Meanwhile, the Expansions Stage will showcase deeper sounds, and a new fourth stage will highlight international and national acts alongside the Midwest's top talent. 



Whether attendees yearn for the vibrant atmosphere of elrow or the more intimate setting of the Expansions stage, ARC has something for everyone.
