Inspired by the vibrant musical communities of Brooklyn and New Orleans, we've put the focus on the artists, bringing over 50 musicians together, allowing them to create their own groups and concepts, and encouraging new collaborations with a spirit of community - so expect the unexpected. Our lineup includes members of Dead & Company, The String Cheese Incident, The Disco Biscuits, Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Lettuce, Soulive, Medeski Martin & Wood, Snarky Puppy, and many, many more.
Purchasing a ticket to Brooklyn Comes Alive gets you a wristband that allows access to three venues: Brooklyn Bowl, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and The Hall at MP. Wristband-holders can come-and-go from all three venues throughout the event, jumping back and forth to catch their favorite bands. (Note: Some venues may reach capacity, so make sure you arrive at your most desired sets early to ensure a spot, although you'll will always be guaranteed a spot at one of our venues).
Music starts at noon at The Hall at MP, which will host a brunch both inside The Hall, and at the adjoining restaurant MP Taverna, featuring a unique dining experience from Michelin Star chef Michael Psilakis. Don't worry - If you're eating at the restaurant, we'll be pumping live concert audio into the dining room so you can jam out while you eat. If you get hungry later in the evening, MP Taverna will also be open for dinner.
After brunch, Brooklyn Bowl and Music Hall of Williamsburg will open up in the early evening, and all three venues will remain open all night long.
Both The Hall at MP and Music Hall of Williamsburg are 18+ venues, while the Brooklyn Bowl is strictly 21+. If you are between the ages of 18 and 21, you are welcome to purchase a ticket, however you will not be allowed access to the Brooklyn Bowl.
