Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos takes The Rooftop at Pier 17 for the Pretty Penny Tour, playing the shimmering, falsetto-driven synth-pop that made 'Manners' and 'Gossamer' millennial anthems. The Seaport rooftop is one of the city's most photogenic concert perches — open-air, the Brooklyn Bridge lit up on one side and the East River on the other. If you want a buzzy, shareable Saturday night with a view, this is the weekend's rooftop show.
What to expect
The Rooftop at Pier 17 is an open-air, mostly general-admission concert deck perched above the Seaport, with the Brooklyn Bridge and East River in full view. Doors open in the early evening ahead of the headline set. Expect bars on the deck, a lively skyline-framed crowd, and sightlines that make the sunset part of the show.
Good to know
- Pier 17 is at the South Street Seaport; the 2/3/4/5/A/C/J/Z to Fulton St leaves a short walk east to the water.
- Most tickets are general-admission standing on the rooftop deck; premium and seated options sometimes exist.
- It's fully open-air — check the forecast and bring a layer, as shows happen rain or shine.
- Arrive when doors open to claim a rail spot with a clear Brooklyn Bridge view.
- Bags are subject to search, so travel light to speed through entry.
- The deck has full bars, so bring ID if you plan to drink.
