Knockdown Center has revealed it’s 2025 edition of its Outline Festival, the festival will take place on October 24th 2025 in New York City. This year’s installment will feature a headline set from Denmark’s Erika de Casier, as well as performances from Norway’s Smerz, UK’s Clara La San, Denmark’s Fine and LA’s urika’s bedroom.

Before October, Outline Festival will also present its much-anticipated summer edition on Saturday, July 12th. Across two stages in the venue’s Main Hall and outdoor Ruins, the night will feature a new generation of pop, electronic music, hip-hop and more, featuring Jockstrap, Kenny Mason, Jane Remover, HiTech, dazegxd and Kassie Krut.

Earlier this spring, Knockdown Center began Outline’s five-year anniversary with back-to-back weekends of post-punk, psychedelia, avant-garde and alternative music from some of the best to ever to it: Michael Rother, Thurston Moore, HTRK, Eiko Ishibashi in March, then Explosions In The Sky, múm, Mabe Fratti, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, upsammy, Diles Que No Me Maten in April.

Knockdown Center aims to create a radically cross-disciplinary environment. The particularity of our architectural environment and history leads us to gravitate toward projects that demonstrate a sensitive reactivity to site and environment. This 50,000 square-foot building has seen continuous use for more than 100 years: first as the Gleason-Tiebout glass factory, then as Manhattan Door factory. It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces — or “knocked down” — and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of building construction. The factory has since remained in the Sklar family and is again a site for innovation.
