PVD Concert On The Pier In New York 
Parties: Updated- Paul van Dyk will play a special 5 hour set for the first time ever trance event on a pier in New York City. Special first time ever after-party announced. Details for both events inside.
(New York, NY) – For five consecutive years Paul van Dyk’s annual concerts in Central Park have been one of New York City’s most anticipated live music events. In 2007, over 10,000 loyal fans from around the world descended upon New York City with the sole purpose of experiencing their favorite artist in this surreal environment. This year, van Dyk and Made Event leave the friendly confines of Central Park and travel west to the famed Pier 54 for a waterside dance music extravaganza that’s never been experienced before, on Saturday, August 16th 2008.
For the first time ever in New York City, Paul van Dyk’s 4-hour live set is to be accompanied by a full sound system installation engineered specifically for this event by acclaimed sound design company Integral Sound. Fans in attendance at Pier 54 will enjoy Paul van Dyk’s music in its purest form and at an unmatched level of clarity.
In the past PVD has played at Central Park’s Summer Stage, a great performance venue, but it was created for smaller crowds, with diverse musical artists, and had limited sound systems that were installed for all events, not just for Made Event productions. This year, MadeEvent will control the sound and lighting, same as the outdoor Armin Van Buuren events they produce, it is expected that the sound and lighting production will be of the highest quality, because it will be specifically for an electronic dance event.
Historically, Pier 54 was considered one of New York’s key launching spots for ocean liners and it even provided a point of origin for the Lusitania’s first voyage. To this day, Pier 54’s breathtaking original steel arch entrance greets visitors to what has become one of the city’s largest performance spaces. With the back drop of the Hudson River and the sun begining its evening descent, this promises to be a very special atmosphere.
Paul van Dyk has made no secret of his passion for New York City, producing a hit song titled
“New York City”, coming to NewYork several times a year, naming his label and radio show
VONYC, and during an interview with me during WMC ’07, he said the outdoor concert in New York is one of his “favorite gigs of the year". Previous concerts have featured live vocalists, percussionists, and other special guests, heard on van Dyk’s releases.
Tickets for Paul van Dyk at Pier 54 are available at ticketweb.com In the coming weeks Made Event will reveal the very special surprises and themes associated with Paul van Dyk at Pier 54. It’s something that no Paul van Dyk fan will want to miss!
