Magik Markers, Dustin Wong, Eugene Chadbourne, Matthew Shipp and more playing NYC's Spy Music Festival

Spy Music Festival

The second-annual Spy Music Festival happens June 29th through July 15th, featuring “46 sets of music at 7 venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn.” That’s a big expansion from last year when it took place on two nights at Shea Stadium and Zebulon. This year’s fest, run by the folks at Northern Spy Records, will happen at Union Pool, the Issue Project Room, The Stone, Vaudeville Park, 285 Kent, Death by Audio and Roulette. Amongst the artists performing are Rhys Chatham, Matthew Shipp, Dustin Wong, Arthur Doyle, Eugene Chadbourne, PG Six, Guardian Alien and Magik Markers.

The full Spy Music Festival schedule — bands, venues, prices — is below. There’s no all-inclusive festival pass, but tickets to all the shows are available here. And the fest organizers have also made a sampler featuring the artists performing this year and you can stream that below as well.
