John Summit to Debut Experts Only Festival This September in New York: See the Lineup

John Summit will host a two-day festival, Experts Only NYC, in New York City in September. The festival will happen on Randall’s Island Sept. 20-21.

The producer will headline both nights of the event, with the lineup also featuring sets from scene legends playing alongside stars from Summit’s Experts Only label, with Kaskade playing b2b with Cassian and Green Velvet playing b2b with Layton Giordani.

The lineup also features LP Giobbi, DJ Seinfeld, Pete Tong, Kasablanca, DJ Seinfeld, TEED and more artists from the wide field of electronic music, with a focus on Experts Only acts. Artists will play across two stages at the festival. The current complete lineup is below, with additional acts to be announced in the coming months.

Produced in partnership with Medium Rare, Relentless Beats and EMW, the event is expected to host approximately 50,000 attendees over two days. Single day and weekend tickets go on sale Friday (July 11) and start at $120.

A dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to Femme House, the nonprofit founded by LP Giobbi and Lauren Spalding that works to achieve equity in dance music by supporting women, gender-expansive, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ creatives through free education, mentorship and community.

This show marks Summit’s return to New York City after headlining Madison Square Garden in 2024, and expands an Experts Only brand that already includes the label and adjacent events series.

The festival also reinserts a late-summer electronic festival back into the New York City festival schedule after the two-year absence of Electric Zoo, which previously took place on Randall’s Island, but which did not happen in 2024, and is not on the calendar for 2025 after major issues in 2023.
