Four bands for one ticket, and each has its own following: Citizen's 2013 record still fills rooms, Hotline TNT is one of the best live shoegaze acts working out of Brooklyn, and Anxious and Rocket both draw hard. Brooklyn Steel's flat floor and industrial ceiling make it the loudest big room in the borough. If you want a long, sweaty, multi-band night rather than a single headline set, this bill is built for it.
What to expect
A flat standing floor that fills from the barricade back, with a mezzanine level that gives sightlines if you want out of the pit. Four bands means an early start and a long night. Expect crowd surfing during the headline set and a merch line that wraps the lobby between bands.
