John Curley, the lead talent buyer and ARC partner, said, “This is something the team has been talking and dreaming about since we expanded from two days to three back in 2022.” He further added, “Every year booking the festival, we run into one little problem: we have more incredible artists that we want to book than we have slots on the festival. Expanding to four days allows us to go deeper with our programming.”
The news is now circulating over media platforms as the organizers have also revealed the lineup for the event. The 2026 lineup includes a long list of music producers, which includes Ki/Ki, The Blessed Madonna, Michael Bibi, Chris Stussy, Sara Landry with her exquisite Eternalism show, Underworld, Cloonee, Anyma, Chase & Status, Nia Archives, and others.

This event is also designed to include a series of B2B and B3Bs along with new stage areas for the performances. It is named The Midway, which is inspired by Midway Plaisance, Midway International Airport, and the original Midway Gardens, which are considered to be among the most significant monumental architectures in the city of Chicago, that also embraces the voice of the city.
ARC music festival launched in 2021, and since then, it has been maintaining its tradition of introducing music pioneers to the audiences, specifically for the House music genre. The festival intends to celebrate this genre, which took birth in Chicago and spread all over the world. This year will also include the presence of Honey Dijon, Green Velvet, and Derrick Carter. The ticket sale for the ARC Music Festival is going live on March 13.
John Curley also said, “Six years in, and ARC really feels like it’s in its own lane,” and he further added, “There’s a global energy to the weekend, but ARC is still very much a Chicago festival in its DNA. That energy gives ARC a character you don’t really find anywhere else.” He expressed, “It feels like a family reunion for the global house and techno community.”
Curley added, “Artists really lean into that, you can feel them bend their sound toward Chicago, see the emotion in their eyes as the sun sets into the skyline. There’s a feeling of legacy when artists play here that gives every set more weight and more staying power.”
The dynamic lineup for the event includes a huge number of artists, and fans can find out more on the official website.
