Peak sit in the lineage that runs from Talking Heads through Phish and the Grateful Dead — groove-first, guitar-led, built for a long outdoor set — and Jeremy Hilliard has three albums to pull from. Industry City's bandshell in Courtyard 1/2 is a full concert sound stage in an open-air courtyard, with more than seventeen food options and bars around the edges. If you want a show where you can eat well and stay for hours, this is the format.
What to expect
Doors open before the set and the band plays a long block into the evening on the courtyard bandshell. You can move freely between the stage area, the food vendors and the bars, and people spread out rather than packing the front. It happens rain or shine, so plan for the weather rather than a cancellation.
Good to know
- Take the D/N/R to 36th St in Sunset Park; the bandshell is in Courtyard 1/2 at 238 36th Street.
- Advance tickets are cheaper than day-of, so buy ahead if you know you are going.
- Open-air courtyard — bring sun cover early and a layer for the later set.
- More than seventeen food vendors are on site, so there is no need to eat beforehand.
- It runs rain or shine; check the forecast rather than waiting for a cancellation notice.
- Flat, step-free courtyard access makes it workable for strollers and wheelchairs.
