This year’s lineup marks ARC’s most sonically diverse and ambitious curation yet, featuring pioneering legends, next-generation tastemakers, and groundbreaking B2B sets that embody the festival’s spirit of innovation and celebration.
Over the last five years, ARC has become an essential meeting point for electronic music’s most influential figures, emerging stars, and underground trailblazers, set against the backdrop of Chicago – the birthplace of house music.
A bounty of rich musical moments have anchored the festival’s reputation over its first four editions.

It remains these multi-generational, scene-defying triumphs that make ARC more than just a festival – it’s a window into the past, present and future of sound and lifestyle that’s traveled from the Midwest to the world.
ARC 2025 delivers a lineup that spans multiple corners of the dance music spectrum, uniting icons with boundary-pushing artists.

ARC’s four stages include the industrial Grid stage, the interactive and psychedelic atmosphere of Spain’s famed elrow with its iconic performers, the deeper sounds of the Expansions stage, and Area 909 – paying tribute to the roots of house and techno in a raw, high-energy setting.
Led by Auris Presents, Chicago’s leading force in experiential festivals and events, ARC extends beyond the festival grounds with its legendary ARC After Dark series. Running for five nights from Thursday through Monday, these afterparties keep the energy alive with artist aliases, exclusive back-to-backs, and label takeovers – alongside surprise sets from both festival favorites and special guests starting with an exclusive opening party on Thursday August 28th with PRYDA.

Danish electronic trio WhoMadeWho joins forces with British artist Everything Is Art on “All The Love,” a spellbinding new single that marks the inaugural release on their every-flourishing label, The Moment. The track, which has become a highly sought-after highlight in WhoMadeWho’s recent sets, arrives as the band’s first offering of 2025.
“All The Love” strikes a perfect balance between uplifting and melancholic elements, working off a sturdy percussive base with stirring vocals that cut straight to the emotional core. Shrouded in layers of warm synth, the energy builds slowly, leading to a rousing breakdown punctuated by solemn piano keys and reverberating vocals.
The London-based, Manchester-born Everything Is Art brings his diverse influences to the collaboration, channeling inspiration from Aphex Twin and Mike Oldfield to trance and Balearic beats.
Intrinsically linked to their beautifully curated festival series, their label platform draws from the same philosophies that have defined their artistic journey. It’s about depth, connection, shared moments, feelings, and innovation centered around amplifying the human experience.
Following the success of their Copenhagen editions, WhoMadeWho is taking The Moment Festival international for the first time, with events planned in Lisbon, Ibiza, Milan, and their hometown of Copenhagen this year. The expansion follows a remarkable period for the band, who recently earned “Best Live Performer” at the 2024 Beatport Awards and “Best Organic House” at the DJ Awards.
WhoMadeWho Everything Is Art – All The Love
The Moment embodies the spirit of WhoMadeWho, a trio who have consistently pushed boundaries while maintaining the heart and soul of their musical expression. From their early forays into indie to their recent electronic masterpieces, including their acclaimed eighth studio album ‘Kiss & Forget‘, the band continues to evolve while staying true to their artistic vision.
Striking the perfect balance of uplifting, heartfelt vocals and emotive arrangement, with a hint of melancholy, “All The Love” epitomizes the beautifully harmonious synergy between WhoMadeWho and Everything Is Art while setting the tone for The Moment‘s future as a platform for innovative, emotionally resonant electronic music.
