New York\u2019s summer festival season is just around the corner! We Belong Here returns to Brooklyn with a three-day waterfront celebration blending world-class electronic music, immersive production, and one of the strongest dance lineups the city has seen this year.<\/p>\n
Taking over the Brooklyn Army Terminal waterfront June 19\u201321, the rapidly growing festival has become known for creating experiences that feel more intimate and community-focused than traditional mega festivals. With panoramic Manhattan skyline views, open-air stages, curated food vendors, art installations, and a music-first atmosphere, We Belong Here is positioning itself as one of the defining events of the summer.\u00a0\u00a0Last year there were 2 separate weekends, but this year it’s one weekend with a stacked lineup!<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s lineup spans house, melodic techno, trance, and underground electronic music, bringing together legendary acts and rising artists across multiple stages.<\/p>\n
Headlining the festival are Kx5 \u2014 the collaborative project from Kaskade and deadmau5 \u2014 alongside Above & Beyond, Eli Brown, Lane 8 b2b Sultan + Shepard, and Oliver Heldens. Additional performances include Wax Motif, Eli & Fur, Giol\u00ec & Assia, Shermanology, Luke Alexander, Emmy Adelle, Boris, Oscar G, Kevin Aviance, and more. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The festival will also spotlight New York\u2019s underground dance scene through curated stage takeovers from local collectives and labels including Pele Pele, Raw Cuts, Dance Here Now, and Nervous Records, helping bridge the gap between global headliners and Brooklyn\u2019s deeply rooted club culture. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans online have already begun calling the lineup one of the strongest electronic festival bills of the year. In dance music communities across Reddit, attendees described the event as \u201ca prog house \/ trance dream\u201d and praised previous editions for their production quality, crowd atmosphere, and intentionally designed experience. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Unlike many large-scale festivals focused on overwhelming visuals and overcrowded spaces, We Belong Here has built its identity around immersive sound design, carefully curated environments, and creating room for genuine connection on the dance floor. The signature 360-degree stage experience has become one of the brand\u2019s defining features, placing fans at the center of the energy rather than simply in front of it. \u00a0<\/p>\n
For Brooklyn, the festival represents another major moment in the borough\u2019s evolution as a global destination for electronic music and nightlife culture. From warehouse parties to internationally recognized festivals, Brooklyn continues to shape the future of dance music \u2014 and this summer, We Belong Here looks ready to become one of its biggest celebrations yet.<\/p>\n
