SIX FRIDAYS IN JULY AND AUGUST

Warm Up, MoMA PS1’s iconic music series, returns for its 26th season this summer with DJ sets and live performances from 4 to 10 p.m. on six Friday evenings in July and August. Amplifying under-recognized subcultures and communities traversing experimental music and nightlife, the program charts new and historic origin points for innovations in electronic music. This season takes place in the MoMA PS1 courtyard on a stage designed by artist Stewart Uoo, who participated in Greater New York. In addition to artist Yto Barrada’s first major outdoor work Le Grand Soir, which serves as a setting for guests to enjoy during Warm Up, visitors are encouraged to visit the museum galleries and experience the full slate of MoMA PS1’s exhibitions.

Over the course of each evening, four distinct sets build from sonic experimentation into dancefloor breakbeats. This year’s lineup includes artists such as Detroit techno pioneer Terrence Dixon; queer nightlife icon KIM AHN; Paris-based soul-crushing electronica producer Emma dj; Atlanta-based founder of Underground & Black Ash Lauryn; avant-garde ensemble Tongue in the Mind, a collaboration between artists Juliana Huxtable, Jealous Orgasm, and Via App; co-founder of the São Paulo collective and record label Mamba Negra Cashu; rising Miami-based trance musicians SoFTT; Hyperdub label founder Kode9; and Jersey club luminary UNIIQU3. The complete lineup follows below. Advance tickets are now available for all dates, as well as a season pass offering admission to all performances for $75, offered for a limited time only.

A group of leading cultural practitioners linked to the city’s sound, music, and nightlife scenes serve as this year’s host committee: Korakrit Arunanondchai (Ghost/BKK), E. Jane (MHYSA), Tom Laprade (Montez Press Radio), Oscar Nñ (Papi Juice), and Jen Sillen (Rash/Club Cringe).

Since 1998, Warm Up has presented experimental and avant-garde music that forms an integral part of PS1’s multidisciplinary programming. A groundbreaking and influential series that amplifies emerging, underground, and legendary performers alike, Warm Up has presented renowned DJs and producers such as Honey Dijon, SOPHIE, DJ Spooky, Lary 7, Richie Hawtin, Arca, MikeQ, and Kim Ann Foxman.

Warm Up 2024 is organized by Kari Rittenbach, Assistant Curator, and Nick Scavo, Senior Project Manager, Music, Performance, and Events, with Sheldon Gooch, Curatorial Assistant.

SUPPORT: Special thanks to Resident Advisor.
