Virtual Riot and Blanke are two of the most technically respected producers in heavy bass music, and the Far From Home tour puts them on the same stage at Brooklyn Steel with the venue's full production rig behind them. The 9pm start means the whole night belongs to the headliners rather than a stack of openers. If you want the loudest, most physically felt room in Brooklyn, this is the booking.

What to expect

A flat standing floor that fills toward the barricade, a mezzanine that offers relief and sightlines, and a lighting and visual rig calibrated for bass music. The set runs late with heavy low-end throughout. Brooklyn Steel is fully cashless with a strict small-bag policy.

Good to know

  • L to Morgan Av, a few minutes' walk along Frost Street.
  • 18 and over; bring government-issued photo ID.
  • The venue is cashless and limits bags to roughly 10 by 10 inches.
  • Earplugs are genuinely worth carrying for a bass show in this room.
  • The mezzanine is the place to go if the floor gets too dense.
  • Late start makes this an easy second stop after dinner.
