The two-day debut marks a new milestone for Summit, combining massive sets and purpose-driven energy in one of dance music’s most iconic cities.
John Summit is launching his first-ever Experts Only Festival, and it’s happening in the heart of New York City.
Set for September 20–21, 2025, on Randall’s Island, the two-day event will feature two immersive stages, panoramic skyline views, and a lineup hand-picked by Summit himself—including multiple sets from the man behind the brand. It’s not just another stop on the tour—it’s a full-scale moment that shows how far the Experts Only concept has evolved.
