Above & Beyond New Year’s Eve 2020
About this Event
There is no place on the planet as exciting to spend NYE as New York City. On Tuesday, December 31, titans of the electronic music genre ABOVE & BEYOND will ring in 2020 with a special headline show at an incredible cavernous location in the Bronx–the 60,000 sq foot New York Expo Center.
Presented by Above & Beyond’s most trusted label for quality music Anjunabeats and New York nightlife impresario DEG Presents (formerly RPM Presents), Jono, Tony and Paavo return to one of their favorite cities for the biggest party of the year.
Above & Beyond have crystallized something that lay at the heart of everything they’ve achieved over their 17 years together. From developing that groundbreaking radio show to touring the world’s best clubs and most illustrious venues; from establishing a thriving, multi-artist label to building a peerless catalogue of artist albums; from creating iconic dance anthems to curating soulful acoustic rerubs, one thing stands out. That is: Above & Beyond have carved out a unique space in music and culture, one that reaches far beyond their electronic roots. In so doing, Jono, Paavo and Tony have created something special: a common ground where all sorts of people and ideas can come together. Celebration, kinship, community – it’s the A&B way.

Being a New York native and the youngest of a big Italian family have both greatly influenced Eric’s style of relentless and brutally honest comedy.
With over 98K followers on Instagram and millions of views on YouTube, Eric D’Alessandro is taking the comedy world by storm. Social media has given him the ability to create content that is both relatable and timely to the behaviors and lives of everyday Americans.
Eric’s comedic impressions and uncensored musical rhetoric compose the highlights of his viral YouTube videos, including his popular “Maria Marie” series and “#MariaMogi” series.
Eric has sold out every show he has held, including iPlay America with its arena of over 1,300 seats. A pivotal moment in his career was moving cross-country from New York to Los Angeles to follow his passion as a creative.
Living in Los Angeles has given him the opportunity to explore his talents as a producer, writer, director, and actor.
Eric has been featured on podcasts, TV shows, and most notably in the motion-picture “Nerve” alongside Emma Roberts and Dave Franco. Upon seeing his videos which have gone viral, the directors outreached Eric and wrote him into the script.
Come join us at The Cutting Room for a night of The Sound and Vision of David Bowie.

Show starts at 8:00 PM
Girls Gotta Eat
Why do guys just want to f*ck you once then watch your Instagram stories until the end of time? How do you get over a breakup when you feel like you’re gonna die? When should you give it up? My boyfriend takes morning baths: IS THIS WEIRD? These are all questions answered on Girls Gotta Eat — a hilarious and uncensored podcast from Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg (the ladies behind Instagram sensations @BrosBeingBasic and @rayna.greenberg ). GGE is a top comedy podcast on iTunes, has been reviewed as “life-changing” by thousands of listeners, and the live shows have had record-breaking sellouts in cities all across the US.
At this show, Ashley, Rayna, and special guests will answer all those burning questions about sex, dating, and relationships in a one-of-a-kind, interactive experience. No one leaves without a fresh outlook on dating and at least one new ab from laughing.
