Music events New York

Electro still holds an important place in New York thanks to the Electric Zoo festival, launched in 2009. All the greatest DJs and electro artists in the world gather at the beginning of September to get 150,000 fans dancing for three days. Now a fixture on the electro scene, the festival was the target of criticism in 2013 following the death of two festival-goers by overdose. The last day of the festival had finally been cancelled by the organizers at the request of the town hall. The line-up is still quite exceptional.

The Governor's Ball has established itself as one of the most important festivals in the United States. Every year, we find the greatest rock, folk, electro and hip-hop artists. Kanye West, Jack White, Outkast, Interpol, Phoenix, Beck, Kid Cudi, Guns N' Roses or the Strokes followed one another on stage. The festival lasts three days and the music starts at noon. No hipster atmosphere as in Coachella (California), but a thrilling atmosphere for the 12,000 spectators.
