Bushwick venue Elsewhere first opened on Halloween of 2017, and they'll celebrate their fourth anniversary this Halloween with a party that happens throughout all three of their indoor spaces.

”We are choosing to reinstate these guidelines not as a way to discriminate, but in order to create an environment of safety and comfort at our events during this complex time,” Elsewhere writes.

L'Rain, The Lemon Twigs, KISSISSIPPI, Cloud Nothings, Sister Nancy, Small Black, Combo Chimbita, !!!, CupcakKe, and more all have shows coming up at Elsewhere this summer and fall

With temperatures warming up and live music starting to make its return to NYC, Bushwick venue Elsewhere will be reopening their rooftop space later this month.

Bowery Ballroom, United Palace, Town Hall, Baby's All Right, Elsewhere, City Winery, Le Poisson Rouge, Saint Vitus, Joe's Pub and Union Pool are just a few of the NYC venues part of NYIVA which seeks aid for independent venues that have been closed during COVID-19.

Bushwick venue Elsewhere will be open Thursday - Sunday initially and COVID-19 safety precautions include temperature checks before entry.

While the coronavirus is keeping us off Elsewhere's rooftop this summer, the Brooklyn venue is launching a livestream series that also is raising money for community resource and racial justice organizations.

”Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open,” a statement from the National Independent Venue Association reads.

With physical spaces closed at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic, the time of virtual events that you can attend from your home is officially upon is, including festivals inside sandbox game Minecraft.

Like musicians and bands, who are suffering financially while their tours get cancelled, venue staff from bartenders, bouncers, sound technicians and beyond are also going without paychecks while the places they work are closed.
