Everyone can put down the magnifying glasses and pick up their dancing shoes as global dance music phenomenon John Summit introduces Experts Only Festival. This NYC live music event takes place over two days and is gearing up to become NYC’s largest dance festival. The event anticipates 50,000 enthusiastic fans to take over Randall’s Island on September 20 and 21, and there’s going to be nowhere better to be.
John Summit personally curated this popping event, setting up more than 15 artists across two stages to showcase the most influential and cutting-edge talent within the dance music scene. It’ll feature Summit alongside artists like TEED, Lumia, Wesko, and many others! They’ll be performing in familiar grounds, previously home to Governors Ball and Electric Zoo. It’ll transform with cutting-edge stage designs, diverse beverage and food options, interactive band activations, and much more to look forward to!

This occasion marks Summit’s return to NYC after his recent explosive Madison Square Garden headline show. It sold out within three minutes, proving just how beloved Summit is to the dance music community. He has solidified his position as one of the most sought-after names, consistently selling out major venues worldwide. Behind his vibrant persona lives a passionate and meticulous creator who once balanced being a CPA with teaching music production.
When it comes to his projects, he dedicates hours to honing his craft to put out something the community will enjoy. To this day, he remains deeply connected to the underground scene, using Experts Only as a platform to bolster emerging talent within it. Not only that, but he is also partnered with Femme House, a nonprofit that supports creatives within marginalized groups like women, the LGBTQ+ community, and BIPOC individuals. One dollar from every ticket sold will go to Femme House, helping fund vital programs to empower the next generation of diverse artists.
For Summit, delivering a rare combination of musical innovation and personal storytelling is his priority, and he plans to do so with the Experts Only Festival. Get your tickets today and stay tuned for more hot summer fun!
