Lykke Li, whose new album I Never Learn came out today (5/6) and whose tour hits NYC’s Apollo Theatre (5/15) soon (sold out), will also be in NYC two days earlier to perform at MoMA’s annual Party in the Garden benefit afterparty on Tuesday, May 13. The Roots’ Questlove will also be DJing.

Tickets are on sale now and proceeds benefit “the Annual Fund of The Museum of Modern Art and the maintenance of The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. The event also supports the Museum’s general operating fund, helping to make possible the Museum’s education programs and the care, study, and exhibition of its collection.” They start at $225 (for just the afterparty) and go up to $100,000 (for a table of 10 to the whole shebang). The event will honor Daniel Craig, Steve McQueen, and Maja Oeri in recognition of their continued support of MoMA.

Past performers at the afterparty have included Santigold, Kanye West, M.I.A., James Murphy, Estelle, Karen O & Nick Zinner and more.

Updated Lykke Li dates are listed, with a video of her performing “Gunshot” from her new album, below…
