Celebrating its fifth year as New York City’s most distinct and experimental showcase of independent music, Knockdown Center’s flagship Outline Festival has just announced a summer edition.
On Saturday, July 12, across two stages in the venue’s Main Hall and outdoor Ruins, this installment will highlight the blurring lines and fertile intersections between the next generation of pop, raw electronic music, hip-hop and more, featuring sets from Jockstrap, Kenny Mason, Jane Remover, HiTech, dazegxd and Kassie Krut. As with each new edition of Outline, the convergence of artists is one that fans will only ever experience at Knockdown Center.
Throughout 2025, Outline Festival is further expanding its commitment to an inspired, international curation of the moment’s most groundbreaking performers and enduring experimental legends. Having been described as “catnip for adventurous listeners” (The New York Times), Outline brings out the best in both its artists and audience – every iteration continues to push the limits of creativity, and elevates the idea of what a venue and festival can and should be.
Earlier this spring, Knockdown Center began Outline’s five-year anniversary with back-to-back weekends of post-punk, psychedelia, avant-garde and alternative music from some of the best to ever to it: Michael Rother, Thurston Moore, HTRK, Eiko Ishibashi in March, then Explosions In The Sky, múm, Mabe Fratti, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, upsammy, Diles Que No Me Maten in April.
