If the graciously rising temperatures have given you a little pep in your step, we've got good news: One of New York's hottest dance parties is making its much-awaited return next month, and with a seriously impressive lineup to boot. Kicking off on Friday, July 24, the MoMA PS1 Warm Up series turns the museum's courtyard into a dancefloor with DJ sets and live performances on six Friday evenings in July and August.
The summer-long music festival has been bringing good vibes to the Long Island City art museum since 1998 and, with its 28th season upon us, it's showing no signs of slowing down. "As an integral part of MoMA PS1’s curatorial program for more than 20 years, Warm Up seeks to elevate innovative and underrepresented voices: emerging and established, local and global, and across genres," says organizers.
And the 2026 lineup is certainly all that and more, spotlighting innovators in electronic music hailing from here in New York City and around the world: think post-rave hardcore techno, jungle-house DJs, Detroit machine funk outfits, experimental electro tunes and much more. Keep scrolling for the full summer 2026 lineup below.
