We Belong Here is officially returning to Central Park’s iconic Wollman Rink for its second annual festival this fall, and they’re bringing a powerhouse lineup with them. From October 10 to 12, 2025, the immersive event will welcome headlining sets from Lane 8, Porter Robinson, and Nora En Pure, alongside performances from Neil Frances (DJ set), Sultan + Shepard (DJ set), Wax Motif, VNSSA, Klingande, Nicky Elisabeth, Ax.el, Aleos, and a hybrid set from Sasha Atlas.
Following the success of last year’s sold-out debut featuring Kaskade, Fisher, and Monolink, We Belong Here continues to carve out its niche as one of the most intimate and intentional festival brands on the scene. The return to Central Park not only reaffirms that vision—it elevates it.
We’re excited to bring together so many of our favorite artists for another weekend full of good vibes. In addition to great music, you can always expect a full experience, from art to vendors, relaxation zones, and more.”

A standout addition this year is the expansion of the festival’s partnership with Smorgasburg, the beloved food market brand that originated in Brooklyn and recently teamed up with We Belong Here in Miami. Now, the culinary magic makes its way to Central Park, offering a broader and more flavorful experience for attendees looking to do more than just dance.
Community is at the heart of We Belong Here. As part of its commitment to supporting the next generation of artists, the team launched a Scholarship Program with Scratch Academy in NYC after last year’s event. The program provides aspiring DJs with access to education, mentorship, and resources regardless of financial background. You can read more about that Here.
Knowing there is a greater impact makes this year’s gathering all the more special. Every person that attends is helping to change someone’s life through music education.
