This summer, a number of DJs will be taking the phrase “raise the roof” literally. As announced Monday (May 12), Tao Group Hospitality is partnering with the Edge at Hudson Yards — aka the highest sky deck in the Western Hemisphere — to install a pop-up nightclub 1,100 feet in the air, setting up shop in Manhattan for a limited time only.
Opening May 31, the Marquee Skydeck will feature a lineup of events taking place Friday and Saturday nights through September, corresponding with the closure of the original Marquee New York for renovations this summer. Namely, attendees can expect a number of high-energy sets from various DJs — who hopefully aren’t afraid of heights — throughout the temporary venue’s run, starting with a sneak peek performance by Carlita on May 16.
The kickoff show on May 31 will be headlined by Maceo Plex.
“With Marquee Skydeck, we’re merging nightlife and spectacle,” says Tao Group Co-CEO Noah Tepperberg in a statement. “There’s nowhere else in the world where you can party at this altitude, with this view, and with the Marquee energy our guests love.”
More details on programming will be announced soon. Ticket information for the pop-up is available on Marquee’s website.
Opening its doors in 2020, the Edge at Hudson Yards has quickly become one of NYC’s most thrilling attractions. The angular terrace is surrounded by clear panoramic glass, giving visitors the feeling of floating freely in the sky while looking out across city’s buildings and streets.
The exact height of the deck is 1,131 feet, branching out 65 feet from the 100th floor of Hudson Yards.
“As one of the most recognizable features of the New York City skyline, Edge is proud to partner with Tao Group to bring an entirely new after-hours experience to the city that never sleeps,” adds Andrew Lustgarten, executive chairman at Hudson Yards Experience. “Marquee Skydeck at Edge is for the most discerning New Yorkers—you haven’t seen it all until you’ve seen how Edge does nightlife.”
