ARC Music Festival 2023 Unveils Allstar Lineup of House and Techno Artists

Taylor Powers | June 02, 2023

Start prepping those shuffling skills and get ready to dance. Chicago’s annual celebration of house and techno is back for 2023—and you’re invited!

Celebrating its third year in the global festival circuit, ARC Music Festival makes a splashy return to the birthplace of house music for three days of hypnotic beats.

Chicago's beloved Union Park will host the event over Labor Day Weekend from September 1-3, bringing with it internationally renowned names in house, techno, and beyond.

This includes ARC mainstay Eric Prydz, Chicago icons (and house music architects) Derrick Carter and DJ Lady D, as well as the homecoming of John Summit for his first festival headline set in Chicago!

Additional highlights include Grammy Award-winning South African artist Black Coffee, South Korea’s fashionable globetrotter Peggy Gou, energetic party leader FISHER, and the return of the UK’s legendary Fatboy Slim.

Checkout the full lineup below, and be on the lookout for special back to back sets throughout the weekend—Carlita b2b Chloé Caillet is a must!

World-class talent aside, festival-goers can also expect an immersive journey throughout their weekend at ARC. From art installations and curated production elements, to four uniquely immersive stage environments—there will be a vibe for everyone to catch.

(Personally, I refuse to miss any of the Elrow takeover, known for its psychedelic atmosphere and signature hi-jinks.)
