Klingande's Jubel was the record that put a saxophone hook on every rooftop in Europe, and here he plays an actual rooftop with the Manhattan skyline in one direction and Bushwick's warehouses in the other. Elsewhere's roof catches the sunset squarely, and the set is done by ten. If you want a Friday that starts with a view and still leaves the night open, start here.
What to expect
An open-air roof above a converted warehouse, with a bar and a skyline view, filling up as the light goes. It is a four-hour set that ends early enough to move on afterwards, and the rest of Elsewhere's rooms run their own programming downstairs. Door checks are strict on physical ID.
Good to know
- Jefferson Street on the L leaves you a couple of minutes from the door
- A physical government ID or foreign passport is required; phone photos are refused
- The roof is uncovered, so weather matters more than it would downstairs
- It finishes early, which makes it easy to pair with a later show downstairs
- Arriving before sunset gets you a rail spot with the skyline view

Common questions
Is the rooftop separate from the rest of Elsewhere?
Yes. Elsewhere's rooftop is its own ticketed space above the main venue, with its own bar and programming.
What happens if it rains?
The roof is open-air, so weather affects it directly. Check the venue's channels on the day if the forecast looks bad.
What ID is accepted?
A physical, valid, scannable US government-issued ID or a foreign passport. Expired IDs and photographs of IDs are not accepted.
