As the self-proclaimed “Home of House” Arc Music Festival has become a staple in the Chicago festival circuit.
Capping August each year, there’s no better way to finish summer than with the biggest names in the game. Interplanetary Criminal, Anfisa Letyago, NOTION, FISHER, Amelie Lens, and dozens of other A-list artists will be heading to the Windy City from August 29-31 in Union Park.
