An open-air house set in Central Park on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend is about as good as a New York summer kickoff gets. Odd Mob's tech-house sets have made him a festival fixture worldwide. SummerStage's benefit shows fund the free season that follows. The 5pm start means you catch sunset over the Rumsey Playfield trees mid-set.
What to expect
A late-afternoon-into-evening DJ show on the Rumsey Playfield stage with support acts; standing, open-air, ends around 10pm.
Good to know
- Enter Central Park at 69th St & Fifth Ave
- Ticketed benefit show (not one of SummerStage's free concerts)
- Rain or shine
- Memorial Day weekend — book transit and dinner ahead
