Sprawling East Williamsburg music venue Elsewhere is starting the summer season early with its rooftop lineup of live performances, dance parties and special events, which kicks off with an opening party on Thursday, May 18.
Running from May through July, the Johnson Avenue nightclub and arts space will welcome more than 35 emerging artists and returning favorites to its open-air, 5,000-square-foot rooftop, including Dutch DJ Jarreau Vandal, Cali-cool electro-pop crooner Neggy Gemmy, Brooklyn indie rockers Widowspeak and Atlanta rapper Father. Parties will include a big Memorial Day bash and a July 4 celebration, as well as groovy takeovers by Hot Honey, Tiki Disco and more. The venue will also host Pride 2023 programming with a multi-feature event including artists like DJ Gay Panic, Amorphous, BAYNK and Rochelle Jordan.
