Experts Only Festival, the John Summit–founded dance event, brings tens of thousands to Randall's Island this weekend, and its official afterparty lands at Pacha New York on East Williamsburg's Stewart Avenue. The first night is billed as house all night long, the second as surprise bass artists, with lineups still under wraps. If one festival day is not enough dancing, this is where the night continues.
What to expect
Expect a late crowd arriving straight from the festival, a full club production and a mystery lineup revealed closer to the date. Each ticket also sends a dollar to Femme House, which supports women and gender-expansive creatives in music. It runs deep into the early morning hours.
