ARC Music Festival 2022 Set Times are Here
House heads, it’s that time of year to make the annual pilgrimage to the place where it all began—Chicago. ARC Music Festival is returning to the birthplace of house music once more this weekend September 2-4 with its biggest lineup to date.
Featuring some of house and techno's most iconic talents, and plenty of emerging and local acts, this is one multi-day event you won’t want to miss.

From 2:00 pm until 10:00 pm each day, immerse yourself into the genre that was born in the Windy City.
ARC weekend is a music festival experience that’s as dynamic as it is euphoric. As a festival-goer, prepare to traverse between the vibracious Grid stage, the eccentric party players of Spain’s elrow and make your way to the cavernous Expansions stage, where you’ll find groovers and dance floor heaters.
The expansive city-wide celebration of house music carries over into the after hours for those who have the stamina to keep the momentum winding, from dusk until dawn.
ARC’s After Dark parties are hosted at event venues all across Chicago once festivities end for the day. Find tickets for an array of ARC After Dark parties here.
The three-day festival’s lineup features house icons continuing to champion the genre alongside performances from local and international rising talents. This year's Friday’s ARC headliners include ANNA, Ann Clue, Boris Brejcha, Chris Lake, Cloonee, De La Swing, Eats Everything, Hiroko Yamamura, Kasablanca, Lane 8, Miane, Moritz Hofbauer, Nora En Pure, Pan-Pot, Richie Hawtin, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Skream, and Tini Gessler.
