The Rooftop at Pier 17 is planning a packed summer of musical performances with more than 60 outdoor shows.
For the fifth year of the venue’s Summer Concert Series at the Seaport, they’re going all out with an impressive schedule all summer long. This year’s lineup includes Coheed and Cambria, Bebe Rexha, DJ Trixie Mattel, T-Pain, YUNGBLUD, Jenny Lewis, PUP, Tove Lo, Macklemore, Pixies and Modest Mouse, and many more.
If you haven’t been to a show at Pier 17 yet, this scenic outdoor concert venue along the East River offers panoramic views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Plus, it’s a venue that can attract big names in an intimate setting (there’s a 3,500 maximum capacity).
You can grab a frozen drink or a cocktail at the venue’s Patrón Patio lounge. If you want a private hangout spot, you can pay for access to the Grey Goose Terrace, a rooftop hideaway with lounge seating, or the Heineken Silver Zone with a reserved viewing area in front of the stage.
Before or after the show, there are a bunch of waterfront restaurants nearby, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s seafood restaurant The Fulton; David Chang’s Momofuku Ssäm Bar; Helene Henderson’s Malibu Farm New York; Andrew Carmellini’s Italian chophouse Carne Mare, and NoHo Hospitality’s Mister Dips.
“New Yorkers, tri-state area residents, and visitors from all over the globe look forward to The Rooftop at Pier 17 concert lineup each summer,” said Andrew Schwartz, co-president of the New York Region, The Howard Hughes Corporation. “This season we are excited to celebrate five years of bringing today’s most popular artists to the Seaport to perform at this unforgettable venue with its iconic New York City views—there’s really no place like it.”
