On-Sale Now! The Get Down at Westcott Theater - November 15th!
The Get Down brings Syracuse, Binghamton, and Utica together at The Westcott Theater for a rare night of hip-hop, community, and collaboration that crosses city lines. Featuring Edge & Babi Lou, Jack Brown of Sophistafunk, and Felix Free, with Never Monday artists and hosts Blitz and Spookyboi, The Get Down captures the richness and diversity of CNY hip-hop — three cities, one stage.
With a lineup of headliners rooted in Central New York, supported by collectives from across the region, The Get Down is your invitation to experience the voices defining hip-hop in CNY not as spectators, but as participants in a shared story being written live in Syracuse.
