2025 Rooftop Concert Series at Pier 17: A Season of Music and Skyline Views

As the weather warms and the vibrant sounds of live music fill the air, New York City is gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable summer at the Rooftop at Pier 17.

The exhilarating Rooftop at Pier 17 2025 Concert Series is back, kicking off on Thursday, May 1st.

Located amidst the historic South Street Seaport in Downtown Manhattan, Pier 17 boasts a 300,000-square-foot venue dedicated each spring and summer to an epic concert series.

With a capacity of 3,500, the open-air rooftop transforms into a hub of entertainment, where music lovers can sing and dance under the stars, all while soaking in breathtaking views of the iconic New York City skyline.

Anton Nikodemus, CEO of Seaport Entertainment Group, expressed excitement about the upcoming concert series, stating, “New Yorkers and visitors to the city look forward to the Seaport Concert Series each year.

The Rooftop at Pier 17 is more than just a concert venue; it’s an entire experience filled with incredible artists and musicians, unmatched views of the city skyline, and the best cocktails and food the city has to offer at the Seaport’s surrounding bars and restaurants.”

This season features an exhilarating lineup of diverse acts, including DJ Elderbrook, Mayday Parade, JET, SiR, The Kooks, James Arthur, Barenaked Ladies with Sugar Ray and Fastball, PRIMUS, Riley Green, The Fray, Rilo Kiley, Sierra Ferrell, Kneecap, and many more.

And the excitement doesn’t stop when colder weather sets in!

For the first time ever, the Rooftop Concert Series will extend year-round in December 2024, thanks to a brand new climate-controlled enclosure that can accommodate up to 3,000 fans, ensuring that concertgoers can enjoy live music regardless of the season.

Although the late-fall and winter lineup has yet to be announced, attendees can expect an additional 25 concerts to delight audiences throughout the colder months.

Fans looking to elevate their concert experience will find several options available, including access to the Heineken® Silver Zone—a reserved viewing area situated directly in front of the stage with exclusive access to dedicated concessions.

Additionally, the rooftop will introduce new elevated hospitality experiences this year:

The Liberty Club, the rooftop’s most premium space, offers expedited entry into the venue, all-inclusive food, a full-service cash bar, and comfortable lounge seating across three exclusive areas.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® Premium Access provides expedited entry and access to all-you-can-eat food and beverages, along with a raised viewing platform during performances.

The Patrón Patio is an exciting new two-level outdoor area featuring an elevated view of the stage and a dedicated bar serving delicious Patrón Tequila cocktails.
