As we trudge our way out of one of the longest winters we’ve had in recent memory, a lot of us are desperately itching to get back to the outdoors. Luckily, there’s no shortage of open-air activities available to New Yorkers this coming summer, including a ton of summer music festivals.
The latest entry on that list comes courtesy of the Rooftop at Pier 17: the destination just announced its summer season lineup, which will kick off on May 1 and 2 with a set by DJ Elderbrook.
In addition to the stellar roster of performers, which you can find in full below, this year's extravaganza will feature a couple of enhanced experiences. First up: thew new Patrón Patio, a two-level platform boasting its own bar that rises above the crowd for an even more panoramic view than the already awesome regular view.

If you have a little extra cash to spend, you might also be inclined to join the Liberty Club, which gives you expedited entry into the venue, all-inclusive food options, access to a full-service cash bar and comfortable lounge seating throughout three exclusive areas. You can always hop back and forth between the crowd and the more private sections if you need a breather.
This is going to be a huge year for The Rooftop—starting in the winter, the venue will host winter concerts after it builds a giant glass structure that will protect concertgoers from the cold.
