Hard Dance Ascends: NYC Fest Unveils Epic Lineup
13 Mar
Summary
- We Belong Here festival returns to Brooklyn this June.
- Kx5, Above & Beyond, and Eli Brown headline the event.
- Tickets go on sale March 19, with general sales March 20.
The We Belong Here festival series will return to New York City, this time taking over the Brooklyn Army Terminal from June 19-21. This marks the first time the festival will be held at the waterfront site in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood. The lineup boasts major electronic music acts, including Kaskade and deadmau5 performing as their collaborative project Kx5, along with trance pioneers Above & Beyond and UK techno producer Eli Brown.
This expansion to a larger venue follows the success of earlier We Belong Here events held at smaller sites in Greenpoint and Central Park's Wollman Rink. Charles Hochfelder, a co-founder of We Belong Here, highlighted the city's "hunger for a festival experience built on community, intentional design, and music discovery." The additional space at Brooklyn Army Terminal will allow for multiple stages and a broader showcase of global artists and local collectives.
Pre-sale tickets for the June festival are scheduled to go on sale March 19, with general ticket sales beginning March 20. The festival will also feature a dedicated stage for New York-based artists and brands, including Aqutie's Pele Pele brand, the Raw Cuts collective, and Nervous Records. Smorgasburg, a popular open-air food market, will serve as the official food partner for the event.
