Where the NYC music industry comes to debut, celebrate, and connect. 17-speaker JBL spatial audio, 360° immersive walls, discreet celebrity event production. Productions for Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Burna Boy, Peggy Gou, and 50 Cent.
NYC music industry event space for listening sessions, album release parties, and industry mixers. Trusted by Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Burna Boy.
Music industry events at LUME are produced with the same care as the records they're promoting. Listening sessions play through a 17-speaker JBL spatial audio system tuned for music fidelity, so the artist's mix lands the way it was meant to. Album release parties run with custom 360° immersive environments matched to the album's visual identity. Music video premieres play at scale across every wall of the room rather than on a single screen. The infrastructure was built specifically for what major labels, artist management, and music brands actually book.
LUME Studios is the NYC music industry event space major labels, management, and music brands trust for high-stakes industry moments. Productions and landmark events at our space include Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Burna Boy, 50 Cent, Peggy Gou, and Fabolous. 5,400 square feet at 393 Broadway with discreet private entrance, in-house event production, and a five-minute commute from the offices of every major label and management company in Lower Manhattan.
How It Works
A label books the venue two weeks before the album drops. Guest list: 80 people. A&R from competing labels, key journalists, the artist's team, streaming editorial, and a tight inner circle. Doors open at 7 PM in LOFT 4 for cocktails with the artist. At 8, everyone moves to the Immersive Studio, transformed into the album's visual world with custom 360° environments built specifically for this rollout. The artist gets on the mic, introduces the project, and the album plays in full through the 17-speaker JBL spatial audio system. Custom visuals sync to each track. After the playthrough, the room turns back into a reception. By the time everyone leaves, the rollout has its first wave of editorial coverage and social posts going up.
The audio system was specced for music playback fidelity, not for amplifying a DJ. The visual system is engineered for synchronized album content, not just generic event projection. The private entrance and back-of-house flow let artists arrive without becoming the story. The result is a venue the music industry returns to. Most NYC venues serve music events as a secondary use case. LUME is built for them as the primary use case.
Listening sessions are one of seven formats LUME runs for music industry clients. Music video premieres play the video at scale on the immersive walls, then transition into celebration parties. Album release parties get the full production treatment with custom branded environments and same-day content delivery. Industry mixers, press days, A&R showcases, tour announcements, and music tech brand activations round out the calendar.

“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.”
