The festival made the perfect use of the two parallel stages. On day one, the Great Hall was invaded by some bigger names on the EDM scene, including Remix and Trivecta. Slander headlined the night, playing to an audience of obvious long-time fans. The floor was packed full of energetic fans lost in the music and lights. Day two welcomed more big names, including Henry Fong and 4YU. Alan Walker headlined the night. The energy was non-stop and the excitement was palpable.

For those who preferred a more blissful energy, a short walk through a whimsically lit tunnel took them to King’s Hall. Night one at King’s Hall saw up-and-coming Asian and Asian-American acts, including Orlost and Dyvergent, both local to the New York area. Their acts brought transcendental vibes while the more intimate atmosphere of King’s Hall allowed the audience to really fall into themselves and sway to the music.  Day two at King’s Hall was equally riveting, welcoming acts like What So Not and Sunryse.

Regardless of the stage that you found yourself in front of, the eclectic mix of electronic dance music infused with traditional elements was invigorating. The crowd consistently matched the vibe and did not slow down all night.

The phenomenal performances were not the only thing on offer. Just steps away from both stages, attendees could get their faces blinged out for free with gemstones, write their wishes on the wall for the new year, and stock up on traditional Asian snacks by spinning the wheel. Traditional Lunar New Year dragon dances were performed throughout the night, bringing entertainment familiar to some and brand new to others. The atmosphere was alive with joy and excitement as attendees cheered, danced, and embraced the spirit of the holiday.

Pulse Events Lunar New Year 2024 left a lasting impression, reminding everyone of the power of music and culture to unite and inspire. They have once again delivered an extraordinary experience, marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle with a signature twist.

The party does not stop there. It is right back to it on Monday night. EDM sensation Alan Walker will be making his Spring Festival debut to the excitement of his fans. With the support of 4B and Henry Fong, his set is sure to keep the energy going. Monday night will also bring well-known act like What So Not (cover), and local New York talents SunRyse and Kasi Opi B2B Charmy. Auxygen and Minijoy B2B 1MO will close out the night with a bang.

Staying true to its name as a Lunar New Year celebration, the festival will bring much more than music, in the form of traditional Lunar New Year food and treats from the night market. Attendees will also be able to partake in hands-on workshops and cultural activities, where you can learn traditional Lunar New Year activities. Dive deep into your wishes for the coming year and put them on display on the Fortune Wall. If you’re dying for some unique Kandi bracelets or lose some face gems in the crowd, you’ll have the exciting chance to stop by the bracelet station and touch up at the glam station. Then you can step into the photo booth to make sure you have a memory of the incredible night.
