Eric Prydz is set to play under all three of his alias’ at a new festival in Chicago.

Taking place across Labour Day weekend (September 4th & 5th), a new multi-stage festival titled ARC will make its debut in the city’s Union Park, with surrounding Parties throughout Chicago set to be announced in the coming months.
