Black Coffee to Hold First-Ever NYC Residency at The Brooklyn Mirage

With a brand-new venue redesign set to redefine New York City’s nightlife scene, The Brooklyn Mirage is making history. For the first time ever, the iconic cultural and music hub will host a residency, and who better to inaugurate this milestone than Black Coffee—one of the most groundbreaking electronic artists of our time. The GRAMMY Award-winning DJ is bringing an electrifying audiovisual spectacle to the heart of Brooklyn, marking an unforgettable chapter for both the venue and the city’s music lovers.

But this isn’t just a series of shows—it’s a revolution in sound. Black Coffee, celebrated for his signature “Afropolitan” sound—a fusion of metropolitan techno infused with deep-rooted South African rhythms—will transform each night into a sensory odyssey. Powered by a cutting-edge, custom-built L-Acoustics Soundsystem, the Mirage’s brand-new hyper-realistic 270-degree visual setup will amplify the experience, boasting an astonishing 30K resolution, 100 million pixels, and more than 3,000 immersive tiles. Each performance promises a deep dive into Black Coffee’s genre-defying discography, delivering an experience unlike anything he’s ever crafted before.

For both the venue and the artist, this residency is a full-circle moment. Having played at The Brooklyn Mirage in 2019, 2021, and 2022—each time selling out—Black Coffee cemented his status as a force in NYC’s electronic music scene. His 2022 season-closing weekend, featuring an all-star lineup including Marshall Jefferson and DJ Pierre, was nothing short of legendary. Since then, he has gone on to make history, selling out Madison Square Garden as the first African DJ to ever do so and captivating audiences at Under the K Bridge with his signature sonic mastery.

“Over the last ten years, The Brooklyn Mirage has seen incredible artists grace our stage, originally seen as local heroes and eventually becoming international household names. As we prepare to unveil our new build, we also sought to stake New York City’s claim as a must-visit destination for artists and music lovers and to offer the same residencies that have transformed other cities into music destinations,” said Josh Wyatt, CEO of Avant Gardner. “Black Coffee is an artist who holds the same willingness to push creative boundaries and has lit up stages worldwide. We are honored to provide a home for his first NYC residency.” “New York has always been a special place for me and one of the most exciting crowds to come and spread love with, said Black Coffee. “I’m honored to hold the first ever residency at The Brooklyn Mirage, but even more so excited to make the newly re-vamped venue my NYC home for four dates in 2025!”

The residency kicks off on Sunday, May 4, followed by performances on Thursday, July 3, Sunday, August 24, and concluding on Sunday, October 19.
