Live Nation’s Rooftop At Pier 17 Adds Glass Enclosure For Year-Round Programming

Live Nation’s Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City will become a year-round live performance venue with the debut of a custom-designed glass structure for winter concerts starting in late 2025.

The innovative enclosure will seamlessly convert The Rooftop at Pier 17 into a climate-controlled, indoor setting, while preserving the venue’s renowned views of the iconic lower Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge backdrop through floor-to-ceiling glass sidings. The enclosed venue will be able to hold up to 3,000 fans during its winter configuration, and introduce a new VIP balcony level. Each spring, the glass structure will be removed, returning The Rooftop to its signature open-air format for summer performances with a capacity of 3,500 guests.

The announcement coincides with a five-year extension of the partnership between Seaport Entertainment Group and Live Nation to continue programming the award-winning rooftop concert venue as the exclusive booking partner.

“We appreciate our partnership with Live Nation, which has been successful in helping us bring our vision to life,” said Anton Nikodemus, CEO of Seaport Entertainment Group. “We look forward to The Rooftop at Pier 17 transforming into a year-round concert venue. Our state-of-the-art space will deliver an unparalleled experience for both artists and guests, providing the quintessential New York City live music venue no matter the season.”

The new design allows The Rooftop at Pier 17 to expand its Seaport Concert Series, with an estimated 25 additional performances planned for the late fall and winter months. The Rooftop currently hosts over 60 concerts annually between May through October within its outdoor setup located five stories above the East River.

“With its breathtaking views of New York City and intimate atmosphere, The Rooftop at Pier 17 is truly a special place for live music,” said Stacie George, senior vice president of booking, Live Nation Northeast. “We are excited to extend our partnership with Seaport Entertainment Group and continue collaborating in creating opportunities that further connect artists and their fans in this incredible setting throughout the year on The Rooftop at Pier 17.”

The Rooftop at Pier 17 is currently planning its seventh annual concert series in 2025, including Elderbrook (May 1-2); heavy metal bands Trivium and Bullet for My Valentine (May 7); Australian punk band Amyl and The Sniffers (May 15); Peach Pit & Briston Maroney (May 22-23); Reggae Fest Blaze (June 14); country music singers/songwriters Riley Green (July 24) and Cody Jinks (August 13). Tickets for general admission and the venue’s premium Heineken Silver Zone located near the front of the stage, are on sale now at AXS.com, with many more shows to be announced over the coming months.
