Brooklyn Bowl in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., known worldwide for its unique fusion of music, bowling, and dining, has unveiled its highly anticipated fall 2023 lineup, promising over 50 electrifying performances by a diverse range of musical artists. The venue, nestled in the historic 19th-century Hecla Iron Works building, will once again be a hotbed for both emerging and established artists, cementing its reputation as a haven for music in the heart of Brooklyn.

Among the headlining acts set to grace the stage this fall are Andy Frasco, Antibalas, Bahamas, Bombino, Melvin Seals & JGB, and the 21st Annual New York Burlesque Festival Premiere Party. Fans can also look forward to a performance by The Hold Steady, with many more surprises in store.

For those who experienced the unforgettable New Year’s celebration last year at Brooklyn Bowl, the announcement of this year’s festivities also shared Gogol Bordello, the New York City-based gypsy-punk sensation, will return to the venue for a four-night run of New Year’s shows, scheduled from Dec. 28 to Dec. 31.
