Anti Social Camp, the world’s largest songwriting festival, returns to New York City for its fifth year celebrating songwriters, shaping culture, and revitalizing the city’s music scene.
Often described as the “SXSW for Songwriters,” Anti Social Camp is the first songwriting camp presented as a public-facing festival. It includes 200 recording sessions across 40 studios and 10 iconic public events, showcasing renowned artists at top New York City venues.
“At a time when we’re increasingly isolated, the need for building community among creatives — in the same place at the same time — is more important than ever. Not just for artists, but for every person who listens to music,” Danny Ross, Founder of Anti Social Camp said. “We are artists, songwriters and producers ourselves, so we created the kind of global festival we would want to attend. Beyond recording hundreds of new songs, Anti Social Camp is a forum to interact with every sector of the music industry and shape the future we want to see.”
Now in its fifth year, Anti Social Camp has grown into a global celebration aimed at revitalizing NYC’s music scene—challenging the narrative that creatives are leaving the city. Past participants include notable names such as Nile Rodgers, Moby, Kimbra, Andy Grammer, Linda Perry and JP Saxe.
This year’s festival will feature performances by artists like Cigarettes After Sex, Beach Bunny, Bryce Vine, Walk The Moon, Raja Kumari, Evan Giia, Louis Cato (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), along with 250 participating songwriters, producers, and performers.
The festival runs from June 9-13 across New York City and is free for participants.
During the iHeartRadio Anti Social Music Conference held on Monday, June 9 at the New School’s Tishman Auditorium, the Anti Social ICON Award will be presented to Cigarettes After Sex. Last year’s recipient was Jacob Collier. The Conference will also feature a conversation with songwriter Scott Harris, known for penning hits for Shawn Mendes, The Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber.
Anti Social Camp Volume 3, an official compilation album of music featuring songs created at this year’s festival will be released exclusively on TIDAL. The previous compilation, Anti Social Camp Volume 2, was released in January 2025.
“At Tidal, we’re excited to be partnering with Anti Social Camp who share our vision of putting artists first,” said Will Griggs, Tidal Experience Lead. “As an artist-first platform, we’re proud to continue supporting the Camp’s creative community for a second consecutive year.”
Limited VIP badges have been made available to the public for purchase. A full camp itinerary will be released next week.
