There are few cities that can lay claim to feeling, an idea and a community as their identity like Chicago. House music remains the city’s gift to the music world, a sound that has shifted shape and style as it travels, relinquishing boundaries and connecting fans. Such stands as the ethos of ARC Music Festival. ARC bridges the global electronic music scene by taking modern house music icons and putting them alongside Chicago's own originators, international techno artists and multi-genre live performances.
