GHOST Energy, Surfside, Tequila Don Julio, White Claw, BeatBox & Elite Wear – Official Partners Announced
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / With just less than one month to go until John Summit’s Experts Only Festival lands on Randall’s Island on September 20 & 21, the team behind NYC’s largest dance music event is unveiling its full slate of brand partners and issuing a last chance for tickets & VIP tables. Co-produced by Medium Rare & Relentless Beats + EMW, the two-day festival, which will welcome 50,000 attendees, has already seen a massive response, with only limited GA and VIP tickets remaining, along with a few final VIP tables via the LIV Skydeck.
Personally curated by John Summit, Experts Only will deliver more than 15 artists across two stages, spotlighting some of the most influential and forward-thinking names in dance music today. The weekend marks Summit’s highly anticipated return to New York City following his sold-out Madison Square Garden headline show earlier this year, which moved every ticket in under three minutes. Positioned to be a defining cultural moment for Gen Z, the festival will feature two headlining sets from John Summit, along with Kaskade B2B Cassian, Green Velvet B2B Layton Giordani, LP Giobbi, AYYBO, Kasablanca, DJ Seinfeld, and more.
Official brand partners are bringing exclusive activations and experiences to the Randall’s Island grounds, enhancing the fan experience at Experts Only Festival:

About Experts Only:
Experts Only is more than a record label – it’s a global movement born from John Summit’s pursuit of total creative freedom. Founded on the ethos of music without limits, Experts Only refuses to be boxed in, embracing a bold, genre-defying sound that spans house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Since its inception, the label has become a platform for fearless artistry, showcasing standout releases from cutting-edge talents like Mau P, Max Styler, Odd Mob, Layton Giordani, Cassian, Disco Lines, and Summit himself.
But Experts Only goes far beyond the studio. It’s redefining what a live dance music experience can be – throwing unforgettable events in unexpected locations from cave raves deep in the Tennessee hills to snowy mountain takeovers in Vail, Colorado and Tahoe, Nevada. The brand has scaled internationally to places like Ibiza and Amsterdam, where few American DJs have made such an impact, and has made its mark on major festivals like Bonnaroo with its own curated stage.
At its core, Experts Only is building a tightly connected global community – artists and fans united by a love of dance music that challenges the norm and hits deeper. Every release, every event, and every experience is a testament to the label’s mission: to push boundaries, set trends, and create a world where true creative expression reigns.
