Marquee Skydeck at Edge Announces 2026 Return: Elevating New York City’s Nightlife
The summit of Manhattan is about to get a lot louder. Marquee Skydeck at Edge has officially confirmed its second season will commence on May 1, restoring a sense of high-altitude glamour to New York City’s nightlife. Situated more than 1,100 feet above the bustling streets, the venue remains one of the most exclusive open-air destinations in the world.
Perched atop Edge—the Western Hemisphere’s loftiest outdoor observation deck at 1,131 feet—the space undergoes a stunning metamorphosis every summer. Managed by the renowned Tao Group Hospitality, Marquee Skydeck seamlessly fuses panoramic 360-degree urban vistas with the kinetic energy of world-class DJ performances.
The venue’s inaugural 2025 season set a high bar, launching with a headline set by Maceo Plex and an early preview from Carlita. Throughout the warmer months, Friday and Saturday nights became synonymous with this aerial sanctuary, quickly establishing it as a cornerstone of the city’s seasonal club circuit.
A Global Lineup for the 2026 Season
For its sophomore year, the 2026 season boasts an impressive roster of electronic music heavyweights. Attendees can expect performances from Benny Benassi, MK, Cassian, and Gareth Emery. Rounding out the initial lineup are Kaz James, Layla Benitez, and Hot Since 82, with further talent announcements anticipated as the summer progresses.
Since its grand opening in 2020, Edge has become a defining feature of the New York skyline. The architectural marvel includes an angular terrace that extends 65 feet from the 100th floor of Hudson Yards. Enclosed by transparent glass panels, the deck offers guests the surreal sensation of floating above the city while taking in unobstructed views of the horizon.
Andrew Lustgarten, executive chairman of Hudson Yards Experience, notes that the Marquee Skydeck is tailored for “the most discerning New Yorkers,” offering a sophisticated after-hours experience that is truly unparalleled. Tickets and a comprehensive event calendar for the 2026 season are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
