Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor It’s surreal enough that the legendary Rough Trade record store — an indie-rock mecca that was born in punk-era London and opened a sprawling location in Brooklyn’s hipster heaven Williamsburg in 2013 that sadly did not survive the pandemic — is now located in Rockefeller Plaza in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, literally in the same building as NBC.
Things will get even more surreal this weekend, when “Indieplaza 2022” — a free music festival co-presented by Rockefeller Center and Rough Trade featuring a bevy of up-and-coming acts — will take over Rockefeller Plaza on Saturday and Sunday.
Highlights include an hour-long DJ set from Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, singer-songwriter Claud, rapper-singer Yaya Bey, rockers Horsegirl and Steve Gunn, and many more (the full lineup and set times appear below).
A live broadcast of the festival will be available on sohoradionyc.com on the NYC + Culture channel. There will also be an “Artist Merch Market” that showcases live art demonstrations from Steve Keene, Jose Berrio, Daniel Shepard, and Madalyn Stefanak, artist signings with Automatic, Horsegirl, and Sessa, and all weekend-long DIY family activities like button making, bracelet making, draw your own 7” record cover, and more.
