A NYC album release party venue at 393 Broadway built for major artists, labels, and management. 17-speaker JBL spatial audio, custom 360° immersive environments, private entrance, on-site content delivery. Releases for Burna Boy, Fabolous, Peggy Gou, and Doja Cat.
NYC album release and listening party venue with 17-speaker spatial audio, immersive visuals, and same-day content. Trusted by Burna Boy, Fabolous, Peggy Gou.
Album release parties at LUME are produced as media events that happen to be celebrations. The 17-speaker JBL spatial audio system means the music plays the way it was mixed. The 360° immersive walls display album art at hero scale and music video moments looping in the background, fully branded to the album's visual identity. The discreet private entrance and back-of-house flow handle celebrity arrival without becoming the story. Multi-camera content capture means same-day delivery for the artist's social rollout, so the campaign is live before the party ends.
LUME Studios is the NYC album release party venue major artists, labels, and management trust for launches. We've produced release moments for Burna Boy, Fabolous, Peggy Gou, and Doja Cat, each one custom-staged with branded environments, premium sound, press list management, on-site capture, and same-day content delivery for the album's full media rollout. Capacity from 35 in LOFT 4 for intimate label-inner-circle dinners to 200 standing for full industry release parties on the main floor.
How It Works
An album release party is a content event disguised as a party. LUME designs release parties to be inherently capturable. The 360° walls display album art at hero scale. The music plays through 17-speaker spatial audio. Custom step-and-repeat moments produce the editorial photography. Multi-camera video capture means same-day content delivery for the artist's social rollout. By the time the party ends, the artist's team has the assets they need for the next 48 hours of campaign.
Not every release needs a party. Listening sessions run smaller and earlier: 30 to 60 people, the record played front to back through the 17-speaker system, album art on the walls, and the artist talking through the tracks between plays. Labels book these for press, playlist editors, and sync teams in the weeks before a release, then come back for the party on release night. Same room, different run-of-show. Tell us which one you are planning and we will build the night around it.
Major artists choose LUME because the operation is tight. Private entrance for artist arrival. Press list and security management. Back-of-house flow that keeps the talent separated from the press until the artist is ready. Post-event content delivered before guests have flown out of NYC. The release party becomes the story it was meant to be, not a story about how the operation broke.
Some releases run two formats in one night. An intimate label-and-management dinner in LOFT 4 for 35, followed by the full release party for 200 on the main floor. The artist greets the inner circle upstairs, then moves down to the room when the press is ready. Same venue, two formats, one night.

“I booked my birthday party at LUME Studios and had a great time, as did everyone who came! While everything went perfectly, the highlight was the immersive visuals, which kept the energy up throughout the night. I've also been to a few pop-ups here and they always look incredible - each one is so unique, you couldn't tell it was the same venue. Would definitely book again at LUME in the future!”
“I held my wedding reception here back in August 2019… the staff was absolutely incredible, and I still sing their praises to this day. We planned everything ourselves, so as you would expect, we were very stressed, but LUME… made everything so easy for us. The most important part was how KIND everyone was… Our reception was truly the highlight of our whole wedding week.”
“I had the pleasure of attending a 7 course dinner in the intimate 4th floor loft at Lume Studios, and it was an unforgettable experience… What truly elevated the evening was the atmosphere. The setting felt exclusive yet welcoming… From start to finish, every detail was intentional, making the entire experience feel special and immersive.”
“This place is awesome! Saw the Super Bowl in the immersive space with Bad bunny performance. It was such a fun time. So much energy in the room”
“My company hosted an event here and was an amazing venue to work with. Venue is great for digital capacity and staff was extremely helpful especially Ori… The modular walls was a huge bonus.”
“We hosted the launch of RG House at LUME Studios, and I couldn't recommend the team more highly… The space itself is unlike anything else in NYC. The immersive technology, production quality, and flexibility gave us the ability to create an experience our guests are still talking about. But what stood out even more was the people behind it… It's rare to find a venue with both world-class production and a team that cares this much.”
