Central Park SummerStage 2016

For New York music fans, Central Park SummerStage

is always one of the highlights of the summer-concerts

calendar. The City Parks Foundation–backed series,

which celebrates its 31st anniversary this year, is a jug-

gernaut among warm-weather concert presenters, book-

ing everything from classic New York hip-hop artists in

outerborough NYC parks to big-name indie-rock bands

on the Central Park mainstage. The scope of Summer-

Stage is so vast we wouldn’t blame you for being a bit

bewildered by the whole thing. Here’s a quick FAQ to

get you started with Central Park SummerStage 2016.

When is Central Park SummerStage?

The festival runs from June 4 to September 23, 2016.

There are events happening almost every day of the

summer including both free and paid concerts, dance

parties, live poetry, theater, ballet and an outdoor opera

series.

Where is SummerStage?

Plenty of the gigs take place at the iconic SummerStage

mainstage in Central Park, situated at Rumsey Playfield;

take the 6 train to 68th St–Hunter College and enter the

park at Fifth Ave and 72nd St. But the series is by no

means a Manhattan-centric affair, with gigs taking place

all summer at parks and outdoor spaces throughout

NYC. See the complete lineup below for specific loca-

tion info.

The MoMA PS1 Warm Up 2016

The Warm Up party returns for another summer of live

music, DJs and dancing outdoors at Long Island City’s

MoMA PS1

Almost two decades of packing the Long Island City

museum courtyard with NYC’s music aficionados and

sun-worshiping revelers, MoMA PS1’s Warm Up is

bigger than ever, with as strong a lineup of bands, DJs

and producers as it’s had in years. Based on last year’s

highlights (which included a whole day’s worth of Night

Slugs, Lotic and Vessel from Tri Angle Records, as well

as the usual out-of-this-world outdoor art), we can’t wait

for this year’s series to kick off. Here’s the lowdown on

the biggest weekly summer party.

What is MoMA PS1 Warm Up?

Warm Up is an outdoor music series taking place every

Saturday in MoMA PS1’s courtyard. The museum com-

bines elements of music, sound and the performing arts,

with unique lineups of artists and exclusive installations.

When is MoMA PS1 Warm Up?

The weekly series takes place every Saturday, begin-

ning June 11, 2016, and ending August 27, 2016.

Where is MoMA PS1 Warm Up?
