The lineup is out!
For the past 22 years, every Saturday through July and August, MoMA PS1 has transformed its courtyard in Long Island City, Queens into the hottest outdoor club in New York City. Known as Warm Up, the museum lets the winners of its Young Architects Program turn the ex-schoolhouse grounds into a mercurial playground, where the world’s freshest MCs, producers and DJs can strut their stuff in front of 5,000 fans.
Led by a committee of music industry influencers with one of the best barometers in pop music, the summer-long series has a reputation for recognizing exceptional talent long before other festival promoters do. Solange, Grimes, Lizzo and Cardi B are among Warm Up’s alumni, having all graced the stage at PS1 before finding critical acclaim elsewhere.

“We want to make it feel like a special series and not like we’re regurgitating the same few acts that every festival has,” says MoMA PS1 Warm Up curator Taja Cheek, who, along with Eliza Ryan, Naomi Zeichner, Dean Bein, Isabelia Herrera, Jonas Leon and Matt Werth, put together this year’s eclectic lineup. “First and foremost, we’re music nerds,” Cheek says of her colleagues. “We all have different interests.
At just $18 advance/$22 on the day, it’s also one of the most affordable summer concert series in NYC. “Remaining affordable is one of the highest priorities for us,” Cheek says. The series begins on Saturday, July 6 with sets by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Pardison Fontaine, Kelly Lee Owens, Kedr Livanskiy, JOY, duendita and Like That Records. Between acts you can also browse the galleries and enjoy a range of beverages and food available on site.
Like in past years, this year’s Warm Up series features a smorgasbord of musicians from across the globe. i-D has already introduced you to
