Pioneer Works and Public Records, in collaboration with Bang on a Can, are excited to present two nights with Oneohtrix Point Never, to open this year’s Long Play festival. His only announced performances in the U.S. for this year, these New York shows are a rare opportunity to hear his widely celebrated album, Tranquilizer (2025). His set will be accompanied by multidisciplinary artist Freeka Tet’s singular live visual aesthetic.
