Today, Knockdown Center announces its third Outline festival for 2024, taking place on Saturday, September 21st, from dusk to dawn. Timed to the final night of summer, music will begin right as sunset starts to filter through the venue's Atrium windows, with an ambient, ocean-like wave of sound from French artist Malibu. Then, the rest of the show will progressively grow into a bigger party, bringing together a lineup of producers whose esteemed strains of electronic music span the globe. Baltimore breakout Nourished by Time will blend new wave, R&B and dance for an immersive live performance, while the Colombia-born, NYC-based Ela Minus uses synth creations to uplift listeners and celebrate the beauty in tiny acts of revolution. The fast-rising Sofia Kourtesis will deliver a rapturous barrage of house music inspired by both her native Peru and current home in Berlin, before Yaeji hits the decks for another sonically-shapeshifting, visually-stunning DJ set, on the heels of her recent takeover for Boiler Room NYC. Though Yaeji hails from Knockdown Center's hometown of Queens, Outline is her and all the other featured artists' only US show currently announced.

Tickets to Outline's September edition are now available: HERE

While no two Outlines are the same, each lineup offers "catnip for adventurous listeners" (The New York Times), curated to highlight different genres from disparate regions. Spanning four distinct, quarterly events over the course of the year, every edition aims to bring out the best in its performers, and to extend the limits of what a venue can be for its artists and audience. This next event follows the marathon of face-melting mayhem that Knockdown Center co-presented with Saint Vitus in June, boasting a best-in-class lineup of left-field punk, metal and rock from The Armed, King Woman, Chat Pile, Cloakroom, Ragana and Couch Slut. Previously, Outline kicked off the year with a triumphant, sold-out showing from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Alan Sparhawk, Marina Herlop and Maria BC - see highlights from their sets HERE.

Outline is one of several of Knockdown Center's in-house, fully independent festival series. Along with the techno-focused WIRE and the big-room rave of RUSH, it exhibits not only the range of the venue's shifting stages, architectural spaces and creative capabilities, but the trust that visionary artists place in the venue, to seamlessly adapt and translate their ambitions.

In addition to its fourth year of Outline, Knockdown Center celebrates its 10th Anniversary in 2024. In honor of the occasion, the venue's stacked fall schedule also includes Bushwig, DesertFest, KNEECAP, Deerhoof, Mica Levi, Objekt, Toro y Moi, COLORS' TONES of NYC, Sega Bodega, The Voidz, Show Me The Body, Jeff Mills, A.G. Cookand much more you can see at the calendar HERE.

About Knockdown Center Featuring programming of diverse formats and media, Knockdown Center aims to create a radically cross-disciplinary environment. The particularity of our architectural environment and history leads us to gravitate toward projects that demonstrate a sensitive reactivity to site and environment. This 50,000 square-foot building has seen continuous use for more than 100 years: first as the Gleason-Tiebout glass factory, then as Manhattan Door factory. It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces - or "knocked down" - and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of building construction. The factory has since remained in the Sklar family and is again a site for innovation. Having undergone a renovation that is equal parts preservationist and state of the art, Knockdown Center now produces and hosts cultural events and exhibitions that respond to its unique architecture and dimensions.
