Every Friday and Saturday evening throughout the summer the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be transformed into a venue for electronic music, featuring a diverse lineup of electronic musicians like Liondub, Kristine Barilli, Toribio, the collective Uklon, and others celebrating freedom, inclusivity, and the creativity of electronic music culture and the city's ever-evolving music underground. Titled Sun Sets, this is the first concert series on The Met's popular rooftop.
The Sun Sets series will run on Friday and Saturday evenings, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., through September 3 and is free with Museum admission; no reservations are required. Access to the Cantor Roof Garden will be first come first served, weather permitting, and subject to capacity restrictions. The Roof Garden Bar is open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 to 8:30 p.m. (last call is at 8:15) and offers refreshments including cocktails, wine, beer, and light fare created by Bon Appétit. The Sun Sets music series takes place during the Museum's popular "Date Night at The Met" evenings, held every Friday and Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. and featuring live music and drinks.
