About the party

Autumn Lights returns to Melrose Ballroom in Astoria, Queens, three years after its last edition, this time over two nights, November 20 and 21. The promoter, amaru, announces 20+ artists across two stages and eight hours of music each night.

What to expect

A two-night electronic weekender with two stages, pitched by the promoter as covering different sides of the electronic music scene. My take: for people who want a festival-sized lineup in a single Queens venue without leaving the city.

Music and lineup

DICE names Blasterjaxx, MaRLo, Lady Faith, Olly James, Matty Ralph, Gammer, Will Atkinson and LNY TNZ. The promoter says 20+ artists will play across both nights, so the full lineup is not yet confirmed. Which artist plays which night or stage, and set times, are not confirmed.

Listed on DICE: Blasterjaxx, MaRLo, Lady Faith, Olly James, Matty Ralph, Gammer, Will Atkinson, LNY TNZ.
