ARC Music Festival Drops Initial 2022 Lineup with Massive Artists

Carl Cox, Gorgon City, ANNA, Adam Beyer □ Cirez D, Claptone, Fatboy Slim, Justin Martin, and more are set to play ARC Music Festival 2022.

After a successful debut edition in 2021, house and techno haven ARC Music Festival has stoked some fire ahead of its return to Chicago this year. Set to take place on Labor Day Weekend (September 2-4), the 2022 edition sees Auris Presents expand in an even bigger way with an additional day and an initial lineup that is brimming with some of the top artists in the scene today.

Gracing the decks at ARC Music Festival this year will be none other than Carl Cox, Gorgon City, Richie Hawtin, Boris Brejcha, Carl Craig, and legendary party starter Fatboy Slim. But that’s just a taste of the powerful sounds that will permeate the festival’s speakers as others such as Adam Beyer □ Cirez D, Lane 8, Gorgon City, Chris Lake, Skream, and Nora En Pure will be can’t-miss sets. Other artists who are set to take the stage include Vintage Culture, Honey Dijon, Justin Martin, Ben Böhmer, Charlotte de Witte, ANNA, and Joseph Capriati, all of whom will leave their mark on those flocking to the festival this year.

Further, fans will be relieved to know that the celebrated Spanish collective, Elrow, will return as a stage host for all three days after leaving permanent, confetti-crusted smiles on faces all weekend long in 2021. Fans can look forward to four mind-blowing immersive environments to cater to every facet of house and techno lover. Yet, that’s not all. Once the festival ends, late-night afterparties will once again be the talk of the weekend taking place at RADIUS, PRYSM, and Concord Music Hall, so stay tuned for more news on those shows.

ARC Music Festival 2022 passes go on sale Thursday, March 17 via their website. Will you be making the trek to Chicago’s Union Park this Labor Day Weekend for three days of house and techno bliss? Let us know in the comments below.
