Last Saturday’s rain didn’t dampen the first Warm Up! Sets by The Black Madonna, Amnesia Scanner (live), Samantha Urbani (live), Eclari Fifi, and Pachanga Boys brought dark house beats and funky pop to soundtrack our wet dance party.

We’re so excited to kick off this summer’s Warm Up series tomorrow, June 27! Join us every Saturday— beginning this weekend through September 5—for one of the most anticipated summer music series in New York, with live music, sound, and DJs, across a wide range of genres. Doors open at noon, with performances running from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Last Saturday’s Warm Up was an eclectic day of funk, techno, and house. Benji B, Dām-Funk (live), DJ Marfox, Tessela, Dutch E Germ, and Avalon Emerson created a perfect soundtrack for the long weekend. This week’s set designers were The Principals.
Last Saturday’s Warm Up featured a diverse lineup that proved to be a huge success. We had footwork, disco, techno, and a crowd that was eager for all of it. We had sets by Kevin Saunderson, DJ Earl, Shamir (live), The Range, and Gifted and Blessed.
Last Saturday’s Warm Up focused on dancehall and reggae with sets by Supa Dups and Willy Chin of Black Chiney Sound, Junglepussy, Princess Nokia, Dai Burger, Dubbel Dutch, Visionist, and Blazer Sound System, with set design by Chen Chen & Kai Williams.
As we hit the pinnacle of the summer, Warm Up is really hitting its stride, with performances by Maria Chavez, Hiro Kone, Simian Mobile Disco, Charanjit Singh with a special guest appearance by Heems, and Daniele Baldelli, set within a jungle of inflatables and streamers by Fort Standard.
Last Saturday’s Warm Up performances brought the dance party to MoMA PS1 with sets by Suicideyear, UNiiQU3, GoldLink (live), Total Freedom, and Cashmere Cat—and more set design by CONFETTISYSTEM.
Last Saturday’s performances brought an exhilarating darker, techno vibe to MoMA PS1 with sets by Robert Hood, Objekt, Rrose, Vatican Shadow (live), Container (live), and Young Male—and more set design by CONFETTISYSTEM.
Last Saturday’s Warm Up was filled to the brim with some of the most lively DJs and exciting live acts to ever hit the MoMA PS1 stage! Auntie Flo opened the day, followed by live performances by Gabriel Garzón Montano, Archie Pelago, and Cibo Matto, and Mister Saturday Night DJs Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter closed things out.
Last week’s holiday spilled over into a 5th of July celebration at MoMA PS1’s second Warm Up of the summer.
