The sold-out Brooklyn Comes Alive is this weekend, and we want to make sure you’re ready for a full day of music. Please carefully read over the following details before heading out to Williamsburg on Saturday, and be sure to check out the full schedule at the bottom of this page. Here’s what you need to know:
Tickets
Purchasing a ticket to Brooklyn Comes Alive gets you a wristband that allows access to three venues: Brooklyn Bowl, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and The Hall at MP. Wristband-holders can come-and-go from all three venues throughout the event, which will have non-stop music from the time the venue opens until it closes.
Wristbands will be available for pick up at The Hall at MP starting at 12:00pm until 10pm, before check-in locations will close. Please bring your ticket, either printed out or digital, to the venue, where it will be exchanged for a Brooklyn Comes Alive wristband. You will only need to do this once, giving you access to all three venues.
Venues
The Hall at MP (470 Driggs Ave): The doors open at noon for brunch, with music starting at 12:30pm and going until 3:15am. The brunch will run both inside The Hall, and at the adjoining restaurant MP Taverna, and welcomes all to join a unique dining experience from Michelin Star chef Michael Psilakis.
Music Hall of Williamsburg (66 N 6th St): After brunch, Music Hall of Williamsburg opens at 4pm with music going until 3am.
Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe St): Brooklyn Bowl opens at 6pm with music going until 3:15am.
Note: Both The Hall at MP and Music Hall of Williamsburg are 18+ venues, while the Brooklyn Bowl is strictly 21+. If you are between the ages of 18 and 21, you are welcome to purchase a ticket, however you will not be allowed access to the Brooklyn Bowl.
Brunch
If you did not purchase a “Brunch Upgrade Ticket”, you can still come early and enjoy the music! We will have limited availability for seats in the back of the venue, plenty of standing/dancing room, as well as room in the attached restaurant, MP Taverna, which will have full concert audio, so you wont miss a note of music. If you get hungry later in the evening, MP Taverna will also be open for dinner.
If you purchased a “Brunch Upgrade Ticket”, you must be seated no later than 12:30pm to claim your upgraded seat. Please bring your brunch upgrade ticket to the front of house hostess who will seat you.
To be clear, brunch and the music is open to all Brooklyn Comes Alive attendees. So make the most of your Saturday and come early!
Music
The music is non-stop from when the doors open until close. Because it spans across three venues, you should plan your schedule accordingly. Some venues may reach capacity at peak hours. We recommend arrive at your “can’t miss” sets early to secure a spot in the venue. If you arrive to a venue and it is at capacity, you can wait on line and wristband-holders will be allowed to enter as people exit the venue OR you can go check out the amazing music being played at one of the other two venues.
Super VIP Ticketholders
Super VIP credentials can be picked up at The Hall at MP any time throughout the day. You will have a private area to pick up your wristband on the North 10th St side of the restaurant (between Driggs and Bedford).
You will be provided with expedited entry at each venue to get you inside faster. You will see instructions when you get to each venue.
There will be a VIP viewing area at each venue to provide the best view in the house. At Brooklyn Bowl, this is our “Artist’s Lounge”, which is the first 6 raised bowling lanes converted into an open area with some seating. At Music Hall of Williamsburg, this will be a reserved section of the balcony on the second floor. At The Hall at MP, there is a reserved area with seating in the front of the venue, right side facing the stage. We’ll have servers at all three venues who can take your food and drink orders (when available) for an additional cost.
Each venue will also have a full-time “VIP Host” dedicated to making sure our Super VIPs are completely taken care of. You’ll be able to find the host near the Super VIP area at each venue, as well as reach them by phone at any time throughout the day if you have any sort of questions.
Make sure you don’t leave Brooklyn Comes Alive without your gift bag! Your ticket includes a limited edition foil variant (not available to the general public) of our official Brooklyn Comes Alive poster designed by Justin Helton of Status Serigraph, who has designed posters for Phish, Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well shows, My Morning Jacket, and Widespread Panic, among many others. There will also be a delicious chocolate bar provided by our friends at Raaka chocolate, along with some other goodies. These bags will be available to be picked up from MP Hall at any time during festival hours.
