The co-founders of United Sounds announce the inaugural United Sounds NYC Festival, created to fill the significant gap for the indie music scene in New York City’s fall cultural calendar. The two day festival happens October 25 and Saturday, October 26 at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn. United Sounds NYC Festival includes Blonde Redhead, The Dismemberment Plan, Sunflower Bean, Les Savy Fav, Model/Actriz, Man Man, Monobloc and Peel Dream Magazine, with additional artists, DJs, neighborhood events and more to be announced in the coming weeks.

“We wanted to start an annual music festival in New York City during the fall season, in the spirit of great indie-focused events of the past like CMJ,” notes the festival’s talent booker Diane Perini who also co-founded and programmed Siren Music Festival, the beloved Coney Island fest that ran for a decade. “Our goal is to bring celebrated independent artists and music fans together for a fun weekend in a great setting. We were drawn to Red Hook to launch the event because it has such a welcoming seaside community vibe, that feels like you’re out of the city, yet it’s right there across the water from lower Manhattan.”

The United Sounds NYC Festival is the first official event produced by United Sounds, the company co-founded by music industry veterans with extensive experience in the live music space Diane Perini, Shay Vishawadia and Dipesh Sinha. “We are too excited to wait until 2025 to start launching the events, festivals and concerts that we are envisioning,” says Vishawadia. “We see the festival as a plant-our-flag moment and we are looking forward to expanding United Sounds not only as the annual festival, but also producing a full calendar of events in NYC and additional markets.”
