We're just as excited as anyone else about the Brooklyn Mirage’s massive facelift, but we’re even more excited about the slate of events the venue has booked for this summer.
The good news keeps on coming: 10 years after it first opened, the Mirage just announced it’s going to host its first-ever resident artist, and its none other than legendary South African DJ and producer Black Coffee.

Why are we freaking out about this? For starters, a residency of this magnitude is likely going to breathe new life into the neighborhood and venue, bringing a more consistent fanbase to the renovated space. Secondly, the Grammy-award winning artist has had an iconic career and legacy filled with great music and collaborations with the likes of Drake, David Guetta, Usher and other massive talent.
Black Coffee first became known in the scene for blending a genre known as “Afropolitan—”a mix of techno and African beats—with jazz and R&B to create a sound that is mostly chill but can also crescendo into high energy, ecstatic sets.
His four-date residency at the Mirage will begin on Sunday, May 4, and continue through Thursday, July 3; Sunday, August 24; and ending on Sunday, October 19.
Although Black Coffee has played at the Mirage before (and sold out every time), the venue’s renovations will guarantee his sets will feel even fresher. Expect the experience to feature graphics across the venue's hyper-realistic 270-degree virtual environment, including 30K resolution, 100 million pixels and over 3,000 tiles.
“New York has always been a special place for me and one of the most exciting crowds to come and spread love with,” said Black Coffee in an official statement. “I’m honored to hold the first-ever residency at thr Brooklyn Mirage, but even more so excited to make the newly re-vamped venue my NYC home for four dates in 2025!”
You can snag tickets to the residency, which range from $94 to $344, here.
