In partnership with Billboard, Montauk Yacht Club has announced the return of its Marina Music Series for a third season, kicking things off with a Memorial Day Weekend DJ set from Washed Out on Saturday, May 23, with more talent announcements yet to come.
Washed Out — christened the “Godfather of Chilllwave” by Pitchfork — will set the tone for the summer with a sunset DJ set on May 23 from 5-8 p.m. ET. The singer/songwriter/producer born Ernest Greene has scored two top 20 albums on Billboard‘s Top Dance Albums chart, including his most recent release, 2024’s Notes From a Quiet Life (Sub Pop).
The Marina Music Series will bring a string of live performances to the East End all summer, following a 2025 season that featured sets from NEIL FRANCES and Paco Versailles, as well as inaugural 2024 sets from Anderson .Paak and St. Lucia.
