MoMA PS1 Announces 2026 Warm Up Lineup: Cortisa Star, keiyaA, and More

New York City’s favorite outdoor summer party series, Warm Up at MoMA PS1 in Queens, is officially back. Since its inception in 1998, the series has served as a vital platform for experimental, dance, and electronic music, and the 2026 season promises to continue that legacy with a focus on the roots of global subgenres, including dub, techno, gabber, house, hyperpop, and sound art.

This year’s lineup, announced on June 10, 2026, features a curated selection of artists that define the cutting edge of modern sound. Highlights include the mind-bending purveyor of post-rage-rap chaos Cortisa Star, French multi-genre DJ experimentalist Crystalmess, and the rising R&B avant-gardist keiyaA. The roster also features Brazilian stalwart RHR, Detroit vinyl dance legend Carlos Souffront, and the electronic trio Purelink.

In celebration of MoMA PS1’s 50th Anniversary, the 2026 season will showcase 26 artists and collectives across six Friday evenings in July and August, featuring performers from throughout the series’ storied history.
