On the heels of unveiling a wholly new build that will redefine the nightlife experience, New York City’s most iconic cultural and music venue, The Brooklyn Mirage, announces its first-ever residency featuring Black Coffee, one of the most influential electronic music artists of our time.
This groundbreaking residency marks a historic moment for the venue, artist, and city, with fans set to enjoy an unparalleled audiovisual experience and the first New York City residency from the GRAMMY Award-winning artist.
More than just a series of shows, Black Coffee’s residency promises to be a sonic revolution. Renowned for his signature “Afropolitan” sound, a distinctly metropolitan techno with heavy traditional influences from his formative years in South Africa, Black Coffee pioneered what has quickly become one of today’s leading dance music genres globally.
Each evening’s soundtrack will envelop the entire venue through a newly installed, custom L-Acoustics Soundsystem. The colorful, high-energy visuals that Black Coffee is known for will appear in high definition on The Brooklyn Mirage’s new, hyper-realistic 270-degree virtual environment, boasting 30K resolution, 100 million pixels, and over 3,000 tiles. Each performance promises a uniquely immersive journey through Black Coffee’s broad discography and an experience unlike anything the DJ has ever done before.
This residency is a full-circle moment for the iconic venue and award-winning DJ. Black Coffee performed at The Brooklyn Mirage in 2019, 2021, and 2022 and sold out every date, including the 2022 season closing weekend, where he curated a three-night lineup of performers, including Marshall Jefferson and DJ Pierre.
Over the next two years, Black Coffee headlined and sold out two venues that enjoy a co-promotional relationship with Avant Gardner: the legendary Madison Square Garden and the raw industrial backdrop of Under the K Bridge. The former marked a historic moment as Black Coffee became the first African DJ to sell out Madison Square Garden.
“Over the last ten years, The Brooklyn Mirage has seen incredible artists grace our stage, originally seen as local heroes and eventually becoming international household names. As we prepare to unveil our new build, we also sought to stake New York City’s claim as a must-visit destination for artists and music lovers and to offer the same residencies that have transformed other cities into music destinations,” said Josh Wyatt, CEO of Avant Gardner. “Black Coffee is an artist who holds the same willingness to push creative boundaries and has lit up stages worldwide. We are honored to provide a home for his first NYC residency.”
“New York has always been a special place for me and one of the most exciting crowds to come and spread love with”, said Black Coffee. “I’m honored to hold the first ever residency at The Brooklyn Mirage, but even more so excited to make the newly re-vamped venue my NYC home for four dates in 2025!”
The four-date residency kicks off on Sunday, May 4, will continue on Thursday, July 3, and Sunday, August 24, and concludes on Sunday, October 19. For tickets, set times, supporting acts, and the latest event updates, visit the official website.
