Music festival season is still months away but one of Chicago’s biggest summer events has announced its 2025 lineup.

ARC Music Fest will take place in late August at Union Park in West Loop. The festival will bring nearly 100 internationally-renowned house and techno artists to town for a weekend of dance and beats. This will be the fifth edition of ARC, and the music this year will be spread across four stages. Also returning is the ARC After Dark series, which will be five nights of afterparties at venues all over the city. 

If you’re a fan of electronic music, you won’t want to miss out.
