After a splashy debut in 2024, S2O New York is back for round two, transforming Brooklyn Mirage into the world’s wettest dancefloor on July 25–26, 2025. Presented by Pulse Events, S2O New York 2.0 promises two days of electrifying performances, cultural celebration, and immersive water-driven spectacle—all inspired by Thailand’s iconic Songkran festival.
Headliners for the weekend include EDM heavyweights Slander, Dillon Francis, Jauz, Nurko, and RayRay on Friday, while Saturday brings a genre-blending lineup featuring Major Lazer, Malaa, William Black, Cash Cash, and Bonnie x Clyde, among others. Tickets are on sale now and moving fast.
Originally launched during Labor Day weekend in 2024, S2O New York 2.0 now strategically splashes down in the height of summer—perfect timing for New Yorkers seeking an epic escape from the city’s heat. More than just a music festival, S2O is a full-scale, water-powered celebration of unity, inspired by the ancient Thai tradition of splashing water as a symbol of renewal and good luck.
Already a global phenomenon with events across Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Taiwan, the S2O brand has earned international acclaim for its fusion of explosive EDM and interactive aquatic theatrics. This North American edition continues that legacy, channeling the cultural roots of Songkran while offering a next-level audiovisual experience.
Behind it all is Pulse Events, led by CEO Luffy Huang, an organization with a mission to spotlight Asian-American and AAPI representation within global dance music. Their expanding festival portfolio includes the Spring Festival: Lunar New Year series, plus shows with top-tier talent like Martin Garrix, Afrojack, KSHMR, Yellow Claw, and global K-pop acts such as EXO and Big Bang.
The Brooklyn Mirage, already legendary in NYC’s nightlife circuit, has undergone a jaw-dropping transformation. Now equipped with a fully kinetic floor-to-ceiling shutter system, a 270-degree LED visual display with 30K resolution and 100 million pixels, and a custom L-Acoustics sound system featuring over 100 speakers, the venue is a technological marvel. Towering at 65 feet high, its new timber structure adds a sustainable edge, redefining what a live music venue can be.
Whether you’re a diehard dance music fan, a lover of global culture, or just looking to beat the heat in unforgettable style, S2O New York 2.0 is set to be one of the summer’s hottest (and coolest) tickets.
