The Rooftop at Pier 17®, will become a year-round live performance venue as of next year, with the debut of a custom-designed glass structure for winter concerts starting in late 2025.
The innovative enclosure will seamlessly convert The Rooftop at Pier 17 into a climate-controlled, indoor setting, while preserving the venue’s renowned views of the iconic lower Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge backdrop through floor-to-ceiling glass sidings. The seasonal transformation will accommodate up to 3,000 fans during its winter configuration, and introduce a new VIP balcony level. Each spring, the glass structure will be removed, returning The Rooftop to its signature open-air format for summer performances with a capacity of 3,500 guests.
The announcement coincides with a five-year extension of the partnership between Seaport Entertainment Group and Live Nation to continue programming the award-winning rooftop concert venue as the exclusive booking partner.
The new design allows The Rooftop at Pier 17 to expand its Seaport Concert Series, with an estimated 25 additional performances planned for the late fall and winter months. The Rooftop currently hosts over 60 concerts annually between May through October within its outdoor setup located five stories above the East River.
