This summer, New York City is about to get soaked in the best way possible. S2O Festival, the world’s wettest music festival experience, is making its triumphant return to the iconic Brooklyn Mirage on July 25 & 26, bringing with it a splash of global energy, heavy-hitting DJs, and thousands of dance music lovers ready to rave under the spray.
The Origin of the S2O Phenomenon
S2O Festival originated in Thailand as part of the country’s traditional Songkran water festival—a New Year celebration where people drench each other with water as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. Blending this cultural experience with high-energy electronic dance music, S2O quickly evolved into a globally recognized event, now held in places like Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo—and of course, New York City.
The concept is simple but brilliant: imagine your favorite EDM artists throwing down massive sets while water cannons blast the crowd in synchronized bursts, misting ravers under the summer sky. It’s a unique multi-sensory experience that’s part rave, part water park, and 100% unforgettable.
Perfect Timing for a Summer Rave
There’s no better way to beat the heat than with an all-out water rave, and S2O couldn’t land at a better time. Late July is when NYC is sizzling, and there’s something cathartic about letting go, getting drenched, and dancing with thousands of like-minded fans. With the skyline in the distance and the beats pumping, S2O at Brooklyn Mirage offers a one-of-a-kind oasis in the heart of the city.
A New Era for Brooklyn Mirage
The 2024 season marks a bold new chapter for Brooklyn Mirage, which has been undergoing renovations and upgrades to elevate the venue’s already legendary status. Known for its towering LED walls, immersive visual production, and massive open-air dance floor, the Mirage has become a staple of New York’s nightlife. This summer’s reintroduction comes with renewed energy, fresh production elements, and, fittingly, a festival designed to make waves.
The Lineup Is Stacked
This year’s S2O New York lineup is nothing short of explosive. On Friday, July 25, the stage will be lit up by Slander, Dillon Francis, Jauz, Nurko, RayRay, and Cyberpunk—a blend of melodic bass, dubstep, and future trap that promises to drench the dancefloor in emotion and energy.
Saturday, July 26 turns up the heat with Major Lazer Soundsystem, Malaa, William Black, Cash Cash, Bonnie x Clyde, and Kimosabi. Expect a mix of house, future bass, and electro-pop vibes all night long.
Each set will be paired with S2O’s signature water blasts, so prepare to get soaked and surrender to the rhythm.
Don’t Miss the Wave
With presale launching April 10, tickets are expected to move fast. Whether you’re a Mirage regular or a first-timer looking to cool off in the wildest way possible, S2O Festival promises a weekend of heat, hydration, and high-intensity music like no other.
Link up, gear up, and get ready to ride the wave.
NYC’s wettest weekend is just around the corner.
