Four DJs take Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden for five hours, moving between techno, live synth sets and drum and bass with a proper sound and lighting rig installed for the night. The bill is ABNRML DJ, DJ Dresca, NEOZEEMA and Lydia, and the venue's own food and drink run alongside it. If your idea of a festival involves a beer garden rather than a muddy field, this is the Queens answer to that.

What to expect

The four DJs play across the evening at Bohemian Hall, with the organizers promising dedicated sound and lighting rather than a house PA. Food and drink are served on site throughout. Expect the room to fill as the evening progresses, since the set times run late.

Good to know

  • Bohemian Hall is at 29-19 24th Avenue in Astoria; the Astoria Boulevard subway station is a short walk away.
  • This is a ticketed event, so buy in advance rather than at the door.
  • The venue serves its own food and drink, so you do not need to eat beforehand.
  • Check the venue's age policy before bringing anyone under 21.
  • The lineup runs into the late evening, so plan your ride home.
  • Check the organizer's page for set times before you go.
