The Rooftop at Pier 17 is transforming into a year-round concert venue with the addition of a custom glass enclosure, set to debut in late 2025. This innovative development will allow the venue to host winter performances while maintaining its signature views of Manhattan's skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Key features of the winter configuration include:

• Floor-to-ceiling glass sidings
• Climate-controlled indoor setting
• 3,000-person capacity
• New VIP balcony level
• Removable structure for summer season

During summer months, the glass structure will be removed to restore the open-air format, accommodating up to 3,500 guests. The venue currently hosts over 60 concerts annually between May and October, with plans to add approximately 25 more performances during late fall and winter months.

Live Nation will continue as the exclusive booking partner following a five-year extension of their partnership with Seaport Entertainment Group. This collaboration aims to enhance the venue's position as a premier New York City concert destination, offering an intimate atmosphere with spectacular city views throughout all seasons.

The transformation ensures The Rooftop at Pier 17 remains a versatile performance space that can adapt to changing weather conditions while maintaining its distinctive character as an elevated entertainment destination along the East River.
