Between the recent cryptocurrency crash and persistent claims of racism against the NFT collective, it may not be the greatest time to identify oneself as a Bored Ape Yacht Club member, but they’re holding their annual ApeFest in NYC right now, at Pier 17. While last year’s event was in November at Brooklyn Steel, this year’s was moved to June to coincide with the NFT.NYC conference. Like last year, you have to own a Bored Ape Yacht Club or Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT, or be the guest of someone who does, to attend, and there’s live music and other entertainment once you get there.
ApeFest 2022 started off on Monday (6/20) with sets from LCD Soundsystem, Amy Schumer, and DJ Questlove. It was a full set from LCD, with the band playing “Daft Punk is Playing at My House,” “Tribulations,” “Dance Yrself Clean,” “All My Friends,” “I Can Change,” a cover of Joy Division’s “No Love Lost” and more.
See attendee video clips of all three, and LCD Soundsystem’s setlist, as well as a few attendee tweets, below.
UPDATE: Haim, Lil Baby, and Timbaland played day two.
My take on ApeFest:
1) Great venue
2) Would have been really cool to be in a place like that if artists I knew were performing
3) I was disappointed no one from Yuga spoke
4) Headliner presumably cancelled so big let-down in terms of talent— NFTstatistics.eth (@punk9059) June 21, 2022
I can literally die happy. Thank you @GordonGoner. Insane show @lcdsoundsystem. L. F. G. pic.twitter.com/DR1zTXgGzV

Ape Fest brought LCD Soundsystem out of retirement and it's only 7pm👀
The headliner must be pretty good…@BoredApeYC @yugalabs pic.twitter.com/QEtlGkn0pZ
