Zedd brings ‘Zedd In The Park’ to NYC with a nostalgic 2010s EDM lineup

Zedd expands his festival series to NYC, bringing a stacked lineup and reasonable ticket prices that everyone will jump for this summer.

Just as we thought it wouldn’t happen, Zedd announces the expansion of his self-curated festival. ‘Zedd In The Park‘ lands in New York City for the first time after years of dominating the West Coast. The two-day event travels across the country and lands at Randall’s Island Park on August 14–15, signaling a major moment for East Coast dance fans, especially millennial ravers.

The festival returns for its fifth edition with a stacked lineup sparking serious hype. Friday features a B2B headline set between Zedd himself and Knock2 (finally coming back!), alongside DJ Snake and Louis The Child, so 2016. Saturday leans more into nostalgia and melodic mastery, with Porter Robinson and Madeon making an appearance days after their 10th anniversary of the release of their iconic track “Shelter”.

Zedd describes this edition as his “most special lineup yet,” and the move to New York reflects the festival’s continued growth since its 2018 debut at Los Angeles historic Park. After taking a brief hiatus in 2025, the event comes back swinging, now set to be one of the summer’s most anticipated festivals to look forward to.

Beyond the music, ‘Zedd In The Park’ promises to build an immersive production, combining high-end visuals, state-of-the-art installations, and curated food experiences. It’s less of a “stand and watch” festival and more of a “wander around until Zedd comes on” situation. The event is open for All Ages for everyone to enjoy the fun, but there are also 21+ designated spaces for those who don’t wanna watch teens run around ruthlessly. If they wanna take the edge off and upgrade to VIP, they’re in luck, as they wouldn’t pay a hefty fortune to do so like at many other festivals.

The expansion also comes at a time when Randall’s Island and the festival scene in NYC have been rebuilding their reputation following past setbacks since the Electric Zoo mayhem. Zedd’s arrival has added another major chapter, giving fans a polished alternative that doesn’t come with a side of logistical nightmares and organizers’ chicanery.

And perhaps the biggest twist? Tickets have been notably more accessible than some of the “exclusive” festivals popping up the following month, proving you don’t need a PhD in techno or a second mortgage to have a great time.
