Following a milestone fifth anniversary in Miami and successful intimate events in Greenpoint and Central Park's Wollman Rink last year, We Belong Here is expanding its New York footprint with its most ambitious production to date. The move to the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal allows for a larger-scale experience across multiple stages while maintaining the brand's signature focus on community, intentional design, and curated dance music programming. The signature 360-degree stage will be set against a stunning backdrop of city views, creating what organizers describe as an experience "as expansive as our 5-year Miami festival while staying rooted in New York's cultural diversity"

What the Organizers Say

"The response to last year's Brooklyn and Central Park events showed us how hungry this city is for a festival experience built on community, intentional design, and music discovery. With the extra space at Brooklyn Army Terminal, we're able to bring that vision to life across multiple stages, bringing together some of our favorite global artists, while providing a platform to the local crews and collectives that make New York's dance music scene so incredible." — Charles Hochfelder, Co-Founder of We Belong Here

"It's exciting to have a larger yet equally stunning location for the second edition of We Belong Here: Brooklyn. The extra space will allow us to provide a platform to more local music producers, DJs, visual artists, and food vendors. We plan to build off of everything we learned from last year's event and incorporate all the feedback from our community." — Justin Dauman, Co-Founder of We Belong Here

Looking Ahead

With its debut multi-stage format, carefully curated lineup balancing global headliners and local underground talent, and a stunning waterfront location, We Belong Here Brooklyn 2026 is positioning itself as a standout moment in New York's summer electronic music calendar.
