MoMA PS1’s signature summer music series Warm Up invites audiences to discover underground and emerging talent.
Warm Up returns for its 28th season over six Fridays in July and August. This summer staple invites underground and emerging talents from around the world to MoMA PS1's courtyard. Since its inception in 1998, Warm Up has provided a stage for legendary performers while highlighting rising international DJs, avant-garde musicians, and electronic acts. The 2026 lineup features DJ sets and live performances that span dub techno from Bronx-based pioneers, ambient dance music, rhythmic basslines from São Paulo, rhythmic drill and hyperpop, R&B and drone cello.
Warm Up 2026’s host committee is comprised of artists connected to dance music and New York City nightlife: Diane Severin Nguyen (Greater New York 2021), Women’s History Museum (Greater New York 2026), hannah baer (writer and therapist), Lysis (dancer, Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon), and Elliot Reed (This Longing Vessel: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2019–20).
Your ticket includes admission to the MoMA PS1 galleries.
