Experts Only Festival NYC
Global dance music phenomenon John Summit introduces Experts Only Festival NYC, a groundbreaking two-day live music event set to take over Randall’s Island on September 20 & 21 presented by Medium Rare, EMW PRESENTS and Relentless Beats. Poised to become the largest dance music festival in NYC, Experts Only Festival is anticipated to draw 50,000 enthusiastic fans across two days.
Curated personally by John Summit, the festival will feature 15+ artists across two stages showcasing the most influential and cutting-edge talent in the dance music scene. This highly anticipated event marks Summit’s return to New York City after his recent Madison Square Garden headline show that sold out in under three minutes.
Experts Only Festival NYC is not just a festival; it’s shaping up to be the Gen Z cultural moment of the year featuring multiple headliners including: 2x Headlining John Summit Performances, Green Velvet B2B Layton Giordani, Kaskade B2B Cassian, LP Giobbi, Kasablanca, AYYBO, Roddy Lima, and more. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
