Chicago is already the best place to be in the summertime. ARC Music Festival just had to go and even make it better. In addition to the 2025 Labor Day weekend festivities that was announced a few weeks ago, ARC decided to begin the celebrations in May and continue them even after the flagship event concludes. Introducing ARC at the Lake! A summer-long event series hosted right on the beach in the heart of the city.
Beginning on May 18th at the Castaways, an outdoor venue on North Avenue Beach, will be hosting various beloved artists for day-to-evening events for pretty much each weekend until September. Doors will open at 4 PM, alongside amazing names that have agreed to join in on the inaugural event. No more than 2 artists will play each event so we can expect a very intimate and unique performance by each (curfew in Chicago is 11 PM).
We will see performances by Loco Dice, Carlita, Eli & Fur, EMBRZ, and Marsh. Tagging along as well are Joseph Capriati, Sebastien Leger, Matt Sassari, Will Clarke, and more! Take a look at the full list below.
Additionally, we already have the schedule so we can start incorporating or making room for these events in our summer plans! Click on ARC’s tweet below to see the breakdown:
