ARC Festival Enlists Impressive Roster of Talent for Sophomore Edition

March 23, 2022

ARC Festival, a Chicago based house event, shows off a line up featuring top talent.

Debuting a festival in 2021 was no easy feat, but the team behind ARC made it look serendipitous and effortless. Even with the pandemic’s odds stacked against them, the Chicago-based music festival became a lauded success and community fulcrum. For Labor Day weekend this year, ARC returns for its second showing as a three-day event with a jaw-dropping list of festival heavy hitters and talent (full lineup listed below).

The festival features more than three stages, one of which houses the infamous elrow. For those that have never attended elrow, it is a traveling immersive art experience born of Ibiza Spain’s insatiable energy and culture. Whatever elrow’s theme, the audience/crowd wades through endless downpours of confetti, performers dressed as aliens, stuntmen on stilts, playful Alice-in-Wonderland caterpillars smoking hookah, monkeys armed with loaded water guns – the sky’s the limit for elrow’s wacky and whimsical petri dish. And although elrow seldomly makes it to cities outside of its home base in Europe, it is returning for its second year at ARC, a testament to the festival’s command in the world of EDM/house.

The festival itself will be led by the Auris Presents team, who bring decades worth of industry acumen to the drawing board. ARC festival goers can attend parties hosted by Auris and venues such as RADIUS, PRYSM, and the Concord Music Hall. General tickets are now on sale for the event, with payment plans available and travel packages coming soon.

Heralding from sunny South Florida, I am a proud Florida Woman. In my free time, I surf the swamp, wrangle gators, open fan mail, and tend to my pets. In the wild, I'm most often spotted at immersive art spaces, step tappin' in a shadowed corner of the club, hater blockerz on, totally incognito as your resident EDM spice girl. Although I generally tout my spicy side, if there's one thing I'd love to impress upon the world, it would be this: it's not a waste to give love to those who do not deserve it – it's a gift. The world would be a better place if we gave, in kindness and in mercy, to those who need it most with no expectation in return.
