Your complete guide to the Red Bull Music Academy Festival in NYC, including full lineup info and best acts
It’s not quite summer in NYC yet, but that doesn’t mean summer concert season hasn’t already taken off. Returning for its 5th consecutive year, Red Bull Music Academy is back with its signature lineup of original programming, with performances stretching across Manhattan and Brooklyn in April and May. RBMA’s calling card has always been its diversity of artists and innovative spirit in the programs it presents. This year’s lineup includes a ten-hour ambient-music concert in Bushwick, a talk with Werner Herzog at the Met, and a piano-led hip-hop show with Gucci Mane and Zaytoven. Here is our complete guide to your Red Bull Music Academy Experience.
