AceShowbiz - The Marquee Skydeck at Edge is preparing to reopen for its 2026 season on May 1, reviving one of New York City's most thrilling open-air nightlife experiences high above the city streets.

Located atop Edge, the Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor sky deck at 1,131 feet, Marquee Skydeck transforms the observation area into a vibrant summer hotspot. Operated by Tao Group Hospitality, the venue blends sweeping panoramic views of Manhattan with dynamic DJ performances, creating a unique entertainment atmosphere.

Last year’s 2025 season kicked off on May 31 with a set by Maceo Plex, preceded by a preview performance from Carlita on May 16. Events took place on Friday and Saturday nights throughout the summer, quickly establishing Marquee Skydeck as a must-visit summer nightlife destination in New York.

This year’s lineup for 2026 includes performances from acclaimed artists such as Benny Benassi, MK, Cassian, Gareth Emery, Kaz James, Layla Benitez, and Hot Since 82, with more acts expected to be announced soon.

Since opening in 2020, Edge has become one of the city’s premier observation points. Its distinctive angular terrace extends 65 feet from the 100th floor of Hudson Yards, enclosed by clear glass that offers visitors an exhilarating sense of floating above the Manhattan skyline.

Andrew Lustgarten, executive chairman of Hudson Yards Experience, has described Marquee Skydeck as a nightlife experience designed for "the most discerning New Yorkers," offering exclusive after-hours entertainment unlike any other in the city.

The 2026 season will continue through the summer months. Tickets are currently available, and a full schedule of events and artist announcements will be released in the coming weeks, promising another exciting chapter for elevated nightlife at Edge.
