Under The K Bridge Park Concert Series is a partnership between:
Under The K Bridge, a seven acre public space located beneath Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s Kosciuszko Bridge. Opened back in 2021 and operated by the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance in partnership with New York State, the park transformed a formerly underutilized industrial site into a flexible, multi-use destination for recreation, community programming and large-scale cultural events.
Set within an active industrial corridor along Newtown Creek, Under the K Bridge Park was designed as a proof-of-concept for how public space, ecological restoration, and infrastructure can coexist. The park’s adaptable layout allows for simultaneous public use and ticketed events, while featuring a skate park, waterfront amphitheater, and an on-site native plant nursery to support both recreation and environmental restoration.
As a public park and cultural venue Under The K Park plays a critical role in sustaining North Brooklyn’s open space system. Revenue generated through events is reinvested into park maintenance, free public programming, and improvements across Community Board 1, making the site a model for public spaces can simultaneously support themselves and serve their communities.
North Brooklyn Parks Alliance (NBK Parks), a district-wide parks conservancy serving all of Brooklyn Community Board 1, which includes Greenpoint and Williamsburg. Founded back in 2003 as Open Space Alliance, NBK Parks is a one of its kind organization in New York City, with a mandate to steward and advocate for the full network of parks and open spaces across Community Board 1.
In partnership with city and state agencies, elected officials and the community, NBK Parks delivers hands-on professional maintenance, horticultural care, and volunteer programming that improve the quality, accessibility, and resilience of neighborhood public spaces.
In a public-private partnership with New York State, the organization designed, built and operates Under The K Bridge park, a public park and cultural venue that generates revenue to support its work across the district.
The Bowery Presents, an AEG Presents company, that’s also the leading concert promoter across the East Coast. Their mission is to bring the best artists to its venues across New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, while proving excellent concern experiences for both fans and artists alike.
Over the course of its 22-year history, The Bowery Presents has developed a long-held reputation as being instrumental in artist development, working with acts like Phoebe Bridgers, Tyler Childers, Khraungbin, Maggie Rogers, LCD Soundsystem, Leon Bridges, Sam Smith, Lake Street Dive and more grow from playing intimate clubs to sold-out arenas.
The Bowery Presents also produces dynamic entertainment experiences at dozens of venues nationally, presenting thousands of shows annually.
Today, The Bowery Presents along with North Brooklyn Parks Alliance announced the first wave lineup for the 2026 Concert Series at Under The K Bridge Park, marking the launch of its third consecutive season of programming at the Greenpoint venue.
Following the first two seasons of The Bowery Presents concert series in 2024 and last year, Under The K has quickly emerged as one of New York’s most sought-after and dynamic live event destinations. Set underneath Brooklyn’s Kosciuszko Bridge, the public park offers a one-of-kind backdrop that blends industrial New York character with open-air energy and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.
This year’s edition of the concert series will feature global electronic and dance artists Peggy Gou, Chris Lake, Sara Landry and Gryffin, alongside the return of fan-favorite events like Dabin’s Stay in Bloom, CBGB Festival, Ladyland Festival, and more. The first wave lineup, including dates are, as always, below.
“There is simply no place in New York like Under The K, and it’s quickly turned into a ‘must play’ for artists and a ‘must go’ for fans,” said Jim Glancy and John Moore, co-presidents of The Bowery Presents. “We can’t wait to bring more unforgettable evenings to this special park and neighborhood.”
“Under the K Bridge Park reflects what’s possible when we think differently about how public space is defined, funded, and sustained,” says Katie Denny Horowitz, Executive Director of the NBK Parks. “Under the K concerts are both cultural destinations and critical drivers of investment in North Brooklyn’s public spaces, funding maintenance, improvements, and programming across our community. We’re thrilled to be working with The Bowery Presents, who understand that Under the K is not just a venue, but a public park with a high standard of care that extends to our shared commitment to waste reduction and sustainability.”
