It feels almost surreal to say, but live music is coming back. It might not be in the same sweaty, beer soaked way as it was pre-Covid, but by taking the proper precautions, hopefully this is on track for that. The Sultan Room is slowly re-opening starting with a series of shows under the stars — 2 set, socially distanced performances on their rooftop. They’re rolling out this series with the following shows:
4/21 NATIVE SUN
4/28 JACHARY
5/5 RON GALLO
5/12 TŌTH
5/19 TŌTH
5/26 MELANIE CHARLES
6/2 DADDY LONG LEGS
6/9 ADELINE
6/16 ARAYA
6/23 GARCIA PEOPLES

They’ll also be hosting day parties with favorite DJ’s and party promotors on the rooftop as well including:
4/18 THE SULTAN ROOM PRESENTS: DISCOSIS
4/25 ebb + flow – INTIMATE
5/2 SAILOR BOOM
5/9 MICKEY PEREZ + TORIBIO + JIMMY LOPEZ(LIVE PERCUSSION)
5/16 AIR A DANSER
5/23 MARIAH CAREY PARTY

6/6 BAE COLLECTIVE

They’re preparing for more events as well such as comedy shows, drag shows, and local markets popping up as part of their sidewalk café.
For all of these events, they’re taking the proper safety precautions and ask all attendees to do so as well.
“For all shows, we will be practicing the upmost health and safety guidelines provided by the CDC and New York City. All shows will be seated, masks or face shields will be worn both by performers and patrons, and mandatory social distancing will be observed throughout the venue. Due to capacity restrictions, most show dates feature (2) performances from each artist, with doors at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM. As we are excited to get back to work providing the necessary entertainment and community that this city lives off of, we also will be hosting in the upmost caution, in Oder to provide a safe and welcome experience to our friends and family once again.”
