ARC Music Festival is upon us for another round, and we’ve packed all the info you need for the festival, including the set times, what not to bring, and more!


The time has come for the next installment of ARC Music Festival, an annual house and techno music festival set in Chicago, the birthplace of house! As fans prepare themselves for one of the last major music festivals of the summer, the team at Auris Presents works around the clock, setting up Union Park with unmatched production, sound, and lineups for the Labor Day Weekend. With three unique stages to explore, festival-goers are anticipating complete musical satisfaction throughout the three-day experience.

This year’s lineup is arguably one of the most cohesive of the festival season. Gorgon City, Barry Can’t Swim, DJ Heather, Honey Dijon, and Purple Disco Machine have consistently demonstrated the importance of showmanship and audience engagement in delivering a successful house music performance. Their stage presence is further complimented by selectors like Sara Landry, FJAAK, and Charlotte de Witte, whose high-energy, artistic delivery of techno produces a natural high that rivals the effect of any drug.

Though many dance music lovers may have splurged entire paychecks to witness the highly anticipated Carl Cox B2B Green Velvet set, fifteen more must-see collaborations occur throughout the weekend. Carl Craig B2B Moodyman, Dennis Cruz B2B Pawsa, Ben Sterling B2B Rossi., Sonny Fodera B2B Eats Everything are just a sampling of what’s in store!

There’s a lot to remember, so we’ve put together a guide for the event. Keep reading for set times, prohibited and permitted items, and more!

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings:

Unfortunately, during this festival season, many have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses, and other valuables. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, some opportunistic people come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting partygoers, and it’s essential to be mindful of your valuables while at ARC Music Festival.
