Book Club Radio Festival #2 The Outer Rim 2026

New York’s No-Phones Dance Music Festival
Out past the clean planets and polite solar systems… there’s a stretch of space called THE OUTER RIM.
That’s where this year’s gathering is happening.

OCTOBER 2 + 3
Two nights.
Two warehouses.
Coordinates point to a small outpost at the edge of the galaxy — local designation: Bushwick, Brooklyn.

We’ll be occupying two warehouses known locally as:
Brooklyn Roots & SILO.

Gates open 5PM. Engines cut at 4AM.

THE SIGNAL HAS BEEN SENT
More than 20 dance music artists are warping in from all corners of the galaxy to play sets made specifically for Book Club Radio. No recycled cargo, just music meant for this moment.

ENTER THE OUTER RIM
When you arrive, you’ll step into an intergalactic night market full of strange food, stranger merchants, and the best street performers in the outer rim.

From there, the choice is yours.
Do you…
Descend into the underground cantina where the dancers never stop?
OR
Step inside the crash-landed spaceship where the music gets weird?

THE LIBRARIAN’S MANIFESTO
Every civilian entering the colony must swear by the code.
1. Come for the music.
2. Be open to unfamiliar music and sounds.
3. Respect one another.
4. Face each other instead of the DJ.
5. No phones allowed on the dance floor.
6. Dress to express yourself.
7. Dance your heart out.
