In just half a decade, ARC has evolved from a promising newcomer into one of the most respected and anticipated dance music festivals in the US, paying homage to Chicago\u2019s status as the birthplace of house and Detroit<\/strong>\u2019s equally vital techno legacy.

Genre-defying superproducer Jamie xx<\/strong> will share the bill with Chicago\u2019s own global house sensation John Summit<\/a><\/strong>, techno powerhouse Amelie Lens<\/strong>, pioneering veteran Richie Hawtin<\/strong>, and high-energy crowd favorite FISHER<\/strong>. Techno legend Eric Prydz<\/strong> will also bring his full triple-alias arsenal (Eric Prydz<\/strong>, Pryda<\/strong>, and Cirez D<\/strong>) for only the second time in history, delivering three unique performances across the weekend. With each day offering a different sonic journey, ARC\u2019s fifth anniversary is set to be a celebration of both heritage and innovation.<\/p>\n Among the stacked roster, these seven acts stand out as essential sets to catch:<\/p>\nAdam Beyer b2b Layton Giordani<\/strong><\/h4>\n
