The Rooftop at Pier 17 is one of the most cinematic places to hear music in the city — an open-air deck over the East River with the Brooklyn Bridge lit beside the stage — and this Project91 party puts Grammy-nominated house producer Audien behind the decks. Known for melodic, festival-ready progressive house, he's a natural fit for a golden-hour-into-night rooftop set. If you want the Seaport's best skyline view paired with a proper dance headliner, grab a ticket before it sells.
What to expect
Expect an open-air rooftop with the bridge and harbor framing the stage, bars along the deck, and a crowd that builds as the sun drops. It's general-admission standing with the option of premium areas. Come ready to dance and for a view that's as much the draw as the music.
Good to know
- The Seaport is walkable from the 2/3, 4/5, A/C, J/Z, and R at Fulton Street, then east to the water
- It's an open-air rooftop — check the weather and dress for wind off the river
- Sightlines and photos are best from the deck's water-facing edge, which fills first
- Most shows here are all-ages or 18-plus depending on the promoter — verify on your ticket
- Bag and security checks apply; travel light
- Best for dance-music fans and anyone chasing a skyline backdrop
