Knockdown Center Announces Third Outline Festival of 2024, Featuring Yaeji, Sofia Kourtesis, Ela Minus, Nourished by Time & Malibu on September 21st​​​​​​​

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.
