Electronic music pioneers LCD Soundsystem have announced their return to Queens for their fifth New York City residency since 2021, scheduling an ambitious 12-show run at the Knockdown Center from November 20 through December 13, 2025. The extended performance series marks a significant expansion from their eight-show residency last year, demonstrating the band’s growing commitment to creating immersive musical experiences in their home city.
This upcoming stint represents the band’s second residency at the Knockdown Center, a venue celebrated for its industrial aesthetic and spacious layout that accommodates large crowds. Performances will take place across three consecutive weekends, with shows scheduled for Thursday through Sunday nights, offering fans multiple opportunities to experience the band’s dynamic live sets.
Beyond the main performances, the residency will feature nightly afterparties with guest DJ sets, creating an extended experience for attendees. The event will also include a DFA Records swap meet and an on-site outpost of Four Horsemen Wine Bar, adding cultural dimensions to the musical gathering. These supplementary activities reflect LCD Soundsystem’s commitment to building community among fans. The band has prioritized thorough sound checks at each venue to ensure consistent audio quality throughout the residency, recognizing this as a crucial element of their live performance approach.
The band’s innovative approach to residencies has become their signature in recent years, allowing them to evolve musically while maintaining deep connections with their audience. Previous collaborations with artists like TV On The Radio and Pulp have enhanced these events, though supporting acts for the upcoming shows have yet to be announced. The band recently premiered their new single “X-Ray Eyes” on NTS Radio, suggesting fans might hear fresh material during the residency. The group has been running strategic pre-save campaigns for new music releases to build anticipation and maximize fan engagement ahead of the residency dates.
Fans interested in attending can register for tickets in advance through official sales platforms. Given the high demand experienced during previous residencies, early registration is recommended, particularly for the weekend performances. American Express Card Members will have early access through Amex Presale Tickets™ starting September 16, three days before general public sales begin.
LCD Soundsystem’s continued investment in these extended New York City stays has solidified their place in the city’s cultural landscape while providing a sustainable alternative to traditional touring. The Knockdown Center’s unique atmosphere in Queens offers an ideal backdrop for the band’s electrifying performances, helping explain why they continue to return to this format year after year.
