ARC At The Lake 2026 Lineup: BLOND:ISH, Sasha and More All Summer Long

1 week ago 18

House and techno fans in around Chicago can enjoy ARC At The Lake leading up to and following ARC Music Festival 2026.

ARC Music Festival has announced all of the headliners slated to perform during its ARC At The Lake events running from May 16-20 at Castaways Beach Club in Chicago.

Boasting some of the best and brightest in global house and techno, the 17 events look to extend ARC’s vision beyond the footprint of its namesake festival. The series kicks off with an event headlined by Italian melodic mainstay DJ Tennis and Israeli psychedelic stalwart OMRI.

From there, the ARC At The Lake lineup boasts tenured tastemakers and breakthrough talent alike. Among the relatively new faces are Spanish flamenco-electronic duo Mëstiza, Chilean Afro-Latin house DJ Sistek, and Dublin house duo Obskür. Meanwhile, UK deep house don Lee Burridge, Iranian-American tech house duo Deep Dish, and UK progressive house superstar Sasha are but a handful of the more seasoned selectors.

Closing out the run of dates is an artist belonging to the latter camp. Early UK progressive pioneer Nick Warren boasts nearly four decades as a DJ, meaning he’s well equipped to bring the figurative house down during the ARC At The Lake finale.

ARC Music Festival itself runs from September 4-7 in Chicago’s Union Park. This year, organizers courted controversy by announcing its first-ever expansion to four days after loyalty pass holders had already bought tickets. The following week, they shared that those passes would automatically be upgraded to four days at no additional charge.

Tickets to all 17 Arc At The Lake events go on sale Friday, April 3 at 12pm CT. Sign up for presale access on the ARC Music Festival website.
