For its 2021 debut, ARC Festival conjured the spirit of house music in the birthplace of the genre: Chicago.

In 2022, ARC returns to Union Park on Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 2-4) with an expanded three-day event, and organizers have announced its line-up.

This year’s line-up includes some of electronic music’s biggest stars, including Carl Cox, a special performance from Adam Beyer and Cirez D, techno songstress Charlotte De Witte, Motor City icon Carl Craig and UK mainstage originator Fatboy Slim.

Chicago house music remains the life source of the festival. Fashion icon and musician Honey Dijon will grace the ARC stage for the first time, alongside storied mentor of the Chicago sound Derrick Carter; DJ Lady D; Farriswheel’s Gene Farris; Green Velvet, of Get Real; godfather of house music Chip E.; fellow longtime veterans Ron Carroll and Mike Dunn; and next-generation riser Kryptogram.

Other acts include Gorgon City, Chris Lake, Claptone, Get Real, Eats Everything, Justin Martin and Vintage Culture. Melodic shades of house will also be on full display from the likes of Lane 8, Nora En Pure, Ben Bohmer, Boris Brejcha, and Gioli & Assia.
