About
Warm Up, our signature outdoor music series, 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 our courtyard in Queens. This season, **Lloyd Barnes**, founder of Bronx reggae label **Wackies** and founding member of Basic Channel **Mark Ernestus** collaborate on a set that blends vocalists from early Wackies releases with the style of dub techno invented by the label. **keiyaA** brings a live performance of her artful R&B, while trio PureLink performs their ambient, abstracted dance music. Duo **SCRAAATCH** pays tribute to the late Yasunao Tone's _Solo for Wounded CD_ with a noisy, experimental set. Belo Horizonte-based **DJ Anderson do Paraíso** drops energetic baile funk in his US debut, joining artists like **BADSISTA**, **RHR**, and **DJ WORKING CLASS**, who are known for redefining dance music's bassline rhythms in São Paulo and beyond. **Cortisa Star** brings lyrical drill beats, while Den Haag-based **De Schuurman** hones his take on the "bubbling" sound. **Mabe Fratti** performs in a trio that highlights her drone-inspired cello bowing. In celebration of MoMA PS1's 50th Anniversary, the season will feature notable performers from Warm Up's history. Sound artist **Lary 7**, who performed at the first-ever Warm Up in 1998, creates intricate soundscapes from a vast collection of found objects and returns to PS1. Detroit Sound trailblazer and 3Chairs alumnus **Marcellus Pittman** returns for the first time since 2013. Parisian producer **Crystallmess** returns to Warm Up in a headlining b2b with LA-based **BAE BAE** of Hood Rave. The series opening weekend also features a special programmatic partnership with the experimental music platform Terraforma EXO, with talks, film screenings, and more to be announced. Throughout the summer, artists will perform on a stage designed by New York City-based artist **Somnath Bhatt**. During each Warm Up, experience the creativity of NY artists in _Greater New York_ while the museum galleries stay open late, and wander through **Precious Okoyomon's** living forest. Single-day tickets are available now.
