DJ & electronic shows this weekend in New York
Planning the weekend? This is our running list of DJ sets across NYC from Friday through Sunday, the kind you can actually build a night around. Weekends are when the city's best small rooms stretch out: longer sets, deeper lineups, and afterparties that don't quit. You'll find techno and house out in East Williamsburg and Bushwick, disco and Latin nights in Ridgewood and Bed-Stuy, and downtown rooms on the LES and in the East Village leaning hip-hop, amapiano and edits. Sunday daytime parties are their own thing here, often the best value of the weekend. We update as venues confirm lineups, set times and whether they're free, so it's worth a second look closer to the weekend.
If you only catch one: MUSIC MOVIE MONDAYS: SCHOOL OF ROCK at Cassette is the one to clear your night for.
What are the best DJ nights in NYC on the weekend?
It shifts week to week, but Brooklyn warehouses around East Williamsburg and Bushwick anchor the techno and house side, while Ridgewood and Bed-Stuy bars run strong disco, Latin and edits nights. We surface the standout weekend lineups on this list as they're announced.
Are there Sunday DJ parties in NYC?
Definitely. Sunday daytime and early-evening parties are a NYC staple, especially in Brooklyn, and they're often cheaper and more relaxed than Saturday. We list Sunday sets right alongside Friday and Saturday so you can plan the whole weekend.
Should I buy tickets in advance for weekend DJ shows?
For headliner warehouse and club nights, yes, since weekend events sell out faster. Bar nights are usually walk-in. Each listing notes whether it's ticketed or free at the door, plus set times, so check before you head out.
