Presale Tickets Available on March 18, Public Onsale on March 20
We Belong Here today unveiled the lineup for its first-ever multi-stage festival in New York, taking place at the Brooklyn Army Terminal waterfront from June 19-21. The signature 360 stage will be set afront a stunning backdrop of city views, featuring performances from Above & Beyond, Eli Brown, KX5 (the acclaimed collaboration of Kaskade + deadmau5), Lane 8 b2b Sultan + Shepard, Oliver Heldens, Eli & Fur, Gioli & Assia, Shermanology, Wax Motif, Emmy Adelle, Luke Alexander and Stello b2b Coastlines.
KX5 brings together dance music icons Kaskade and deadmau5, a partnership nearly 15 years in the making, born from their 2008 classic “I Remember” and culminating in a critically acclaimed album and record-breaking stadium shows. This highly anticipated New York debut for them as a duo will kick off Friday night.
Lane 8 b2b Sultan + Shepard unites the label head and flagship artists of the beloved This Never Happened family, delivering a back-to-back set that will showcase the deep, melodic house connection We Belong Here fans crave. UK techno powerhouse Eli Brown will bring an added level of energy to Saturday, as he makes his first-ever performance on the We Belong Here 360 Stage.
Sunday welcomes the legendary trance trio Above & Beyond to close out the festival. While many artists on their acclaimed AnjunaDeep label have been We Belong Here mainstays, this will mark the group’s debut We Belong Here performance.
The festival will also feature a second stage, with daily takeovers by some of the most influential New York-based underground tastemakers. Aqutie, an acclaimed world touring DJ hailing from Harlem, fuses African Rhythms with her genre-bending take on house music. Her brand, Pele Pele, kicks things off on Friday, followed by Raw Cuts, a Bushwick-based collective of artists, storytellers, and music lovers who are notorious for their no phones-no VIP parties, and stunning video content featuring performances by DJs who offer a fresh approach to house music. The stage will also feature a collaborative takeover from Dance Here Now, a legendary New York party series and community platform celebrating house and dance music culture, and Nervous Records, the iconic New York label that has helped shape the global house and electronic music scene for decades.
Returning as the official food partner, Smorgasburg will curate an expanded culinary experience with even more vendors than last year’s edition, bringing some of New York’s most beloved local food purveyors to the festival grounds.
The response to last year’s Brooklyn and Central Park events showed us how hungry this city is for a festival experience built on community, intentional design, and music discovery.
With the extra space at Brooklyn Army Terminal, we’re able to bring that vision to life across multiple stages, bringing together some of our favorite global artists, while providing a platform to the local crews and collectives that make New York’s dance music scene so incredible
