About the Event

Most crypto events stop at panels. This one doesn’t.

BitcoinPalooza is New York City’s premier celebration of Bitcoin culture, returning for its fourth year. We close Day Two of the flagship Blockchain Week conference with an immersive evening of live music, curated art, fashion, and conversation—right in the heart of Times Square.

No lanyards, no stuffy receptions—just a genuine cultural night for the crypto community and beyond.

What’s Happening

• Live Music – Performances by NYC’s own crypto‑degen band The Coinheads, alongside recording artists Emily Lazar and Enyo Sam.

• Fashion Show – Presented by artist and creative director Alejandro Glatt.

• Visual Art – Curated works displayed throughout the venue, featured across Blockchain Week venues for all ten days.

• Conversations – Featuring industry leaders and thought provocateurs:

  • Brock Pierce

  • Karla Ballard

  • Lou Kerner

  • Dr. Vin Menon

  • Brian J. Esposito

  • Thomas Walls

  • Player1Taco.eth

More announcements to come from our newly appointed curator, Lara Moreno, whose sole mission is to make this feel like a true cultural night, not a conference reception.

Who’s in the Room

Founders, investors, diplomats, artists, and musicians—all in New York for UN General Assembly week, gathering under one roof without the formalities.

Tickets

General Admission is $89. VIP Access is $249 and adds priority entry from 6:30 PM, lounge access, reserved seating, meet-and-greet opportunities, limited-edition merch and a welcome drink.

Capacity is limited and the room is smaller than the interest in it. Prices rise as September gets closer.

All attendees must be 18+ and present valid government‑issued photo ID.

Call for Artists, Musicians, and Designers

Submissions for the 2026 edition are open until Friday, September 4.
Send links to your work to lara@bitcoinpalooza.nyc with a short note describing what you’d like to present. No formal proposal required—every submission receives a reply.
