Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

537 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

208 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

Worship… Wow

God damn what a night. Reminder of just how good storehouse can be and glad they’re finishing it off with a genuine send off.

Sound, production, crowd (for the most part) all seemed pretty peak. Just wow. Still can feel it.

Who ever decided to make fisher 16+ should quit tonight!

I’m sorry but that had to be one of the worst crowds I’ve ever experienced. I can understand being young and seeing your favorite DJ but that’s no fucking excuse to behave like that.

Fisher day 2 was an absolute shit show

24 Upvotes

The entrance to the floor has no functional line and it there was a mass of people trying to get in. The situation genuinely was hazardous. The floor admissions line situation made it so that everyone was in a terrible mood during the rave. The highschoolers were pissing everyone off, the music was quiet, and the vibe of the crowd was awful. I also didnt think the set was anything special. I had a great time but nobody else in the crowd was moving.

Disrespectful crowd at Silo 10/17

10 Upvotes

Really disappointed with our experience.

  • Having to body block for my partner several times because different men were pushing up against her and touching her
  • Aggressive people pushing to the front, just to video on their phones / text
  • People just.. not dancing?

I am connected with the underground scene in Denver / Boulder and had zero of these problems.

Where can we go to have respectful people, without their phones, who have a baseline EQ to not fucking grope people?

The Advent absolutely crushed Basement last night

6 Upvotes

That set was straight electricity!

Not sure about the match up with Rubenstein though, pretty major tone change after and Studio was pretty hard to decelerate to after that. (Flax was great tho.) That said pretty hard to follow for anyone I think. I've never once been disappointed by Cisco since I first saw him at Twilo in 99 or 2000

New to nyc and raves in general. Went to basement alone last night because I’ve heard good things about Juliana and I had so much fun. It’s the next day and I’m still thinking about it, felt the need to share it somewhere

Outer Heaven Not the Same. Where Next in Manhattan?

3 Upvotes

Went to Outer Heaven last night. Historically, the crowd was never the best, but last night the dance floor was moving like a stagnant puddle, DJ was mid, and of the like 6 people I interacted with half were so drunk that they puked at some point... disgusting.

I guess its back to taking the train to have fun. Please put me on something real in Manhattan to save me from the L 😭

Fisher @ Forest Hills

Friday show security did not do a good job of keeping people out of the aisles. So much crowding and people pushing around to get back to their seats. God forbid an emergency happens and all of a sudden there’s a stampede.. all of that to say Saturday looked 10x worse

Hi!

I live very far from H0l0 and I’m visiting New York today only to see Louie Vega but don’t want to arrive too early. The event says that doors are open until 12 am, what’s the usual set time for an event in h0l0 on Sunday?

Gryffin missing?

3 Upvotes

Anybody who was at Gryffin last night know if/why/where Gryffin disappeared to in the middle of his set? I was a bit far away so I couldn't really see. But it appeared to me and everyone around me from minutes ~30 to ~60, he wasn't in the elevated central spot or around his consoles anymore.

Was that on purpose? An accident? Or was he just in a side area that none of us could see?

Why 16+ at forest hills stadium?

22 Upvotes

This event was just bad & I feel for all the workers tonight and yesterday for all the harassment and having to play babysitter. On top of that, the underaged drinking that was being allowed was sickening. I do hope they never allow such a low aged event to ever happen at this venue again

Would anyone like to hang out in a group of 5?

206 Upvotes

And preferably have a full conversation together, but ONLY on the dance floor. I’d also suggest we can drink, but we have to make sure it’s directly in front of the only free water station at the venue. Any other ideas?

2026, the year New York got da sauce back

• Upvotes

We are so back. Old New York energy, with a twist of modern times. Younger millennials have been handed the torch. We have seen the industry go from a golden era, to bad to down right ugly. We’ve heard the stories of output, tunnel and limelight. We’ve watched as phones and social media slowly suffocated our favorite dance floors. We’ve taken all of this in and learned from all of it. My peers are now running the industry, and I’m proud to say they’ve nailed it. People are dancing. Phones are in pockets. Dance floors are diverse. Strangers are feeding off of each other’s energy. CIGS ARE BACK!!! Very stoked on the direction things are heading. Kudos to all y’all in the industry who are making the magic happen. End rant. Happy Sunday.

Missed Connection @ Silo 10/17

0 Upvotes

A group of 4 girls started dancing next to me and you guys were just having a time, talking to me here and there, and we were all being quite silly goofy. I said y’all were the most beautiful group of girls I’ve ever seen and that’s when you told me you were all sisters/step (or half?) sisters. Before you left you said you had a flight to Seoul to catch in a few hours.

You guys brought an energy that I really vibed with so I was disappointed that we didn’t get a chance to exchange IGs or something! Long shot but anyway, thanks for making my night!
