The 2024 lineup was nothing short of stellar.
Acts like Dom Dolla, Disclosure, MK and Armand Van Helden performed
alongside Chicago music pioneers and icons like Green Velvet, Gene Farris,
Marshall Jefferson and Derrick Carter.
House music just celebrated four decades of influence over DJs and artists in our city, and it was amazing to see a festival of this magnitude celebrate this genre.

Arc Music Festival’s layout and stages gives each of the artists a unique
atmosphere to connect with their fans. The main stage featured an impressive
array of LED screens, lasers, and pyrotechnics that complemented the performances perfectly. The sound quality across all stages was crystal clear, ensuring that every drop and build-up was felt as much as it was heard.

One of the festival’s standout features was its vibrant and inclusive community.
The crowd was diverse and enthusiastic, coming together to celebrate their
love of electronic music in a positive and respectful environment. The festival fostered a sense of camaraderie, making it easy to connect with fellow
attendees and share in the collective joy of the experience. In a world where
a sense of universal inclusivity is almost lost, it’s wonderful to know that music festivals like Arc keep that feeling alive. Arc Music Festival has once again
proven itself as a cornerstone of the electronic music scene, setting the
stage for future celebrations of music and community.
