🎶 About the Festival: Back to the Roots of House

Through ARC, the music returns home to celebrate its origins in the birthplace of house. The event takes place in Union Park, located in Chicago’s historic West Loop neighborhood – just blocks from the original warehouse where the iconic rhythms of house music first echoed. House later became the foundation for deep house, tech house, and acid house subgenres. ARC is a culture-driven festival with a mission to educate through music and shared experience, highlighting the genre’s roots in 1980s Chicago with a carefully curated lineup.

ARC Music Festival was founded by three passionate individuals under the company Auris Presents. The idea was born in 2020, during a time of global uncertainty and reflection. Their goal was to bring the international techno scene back to Chicago – its original home. From the beginning, they prioritized high-quality sound and minimal waiting times to ensure the best possible experience for visitors. Seeing fans’ excitement, passion, and sense of connection remains the greatest reward for the team. They believe that feedback fuels every step when building something as meaningful as ARC.
