Get ready, New York: Your favorite roommates are throwing the city’s hottest end-of-summer bash, and you’re invited.
Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are bringing The Roommates Show back to Central Park for round two, and if last year’s sold-out blowout was any indication, this one’s going to be even bigger. Set for Saturday, September 6 at Rumsey Playfield, The Roommates Show Block Party – Live From Central Park, presented by Tommy John, promises an all-star lineup of sports, comedy, music and pure NYC energy. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 25, at 10am, starting at $79.99.

Hosted by Brunson, Hart and their longtime college roommate Matt Hillman, the live taping will feature surprise appearances from Knicks players and famous fans, plus confirmed guests like Eli Manning and Ben Stiller. Chart-topping artist Ferg will take the stage for a live performance, and fans can expect all the food, drinks and BODYARMOR hydration they can handle.
The podcast-turned-party draws its name and vibe from the trio’s real-life roommate bond at Villanova and has become a cult favorite among hoops fans for its hilarious banter and behind-the-scenes look at NBA life. Last year’s debut event pulled over 5,000 fans, turning Central Park into a Knicks-loving, beer-sipping, podcast-laughing block party—and this year’s edition is leveling up.
Tommy John returns as the presenting partner, offering on-site activations and product giveaways (because who doesn’t want premium underwear with their podcast experience?). Other top-tier partners include BODYARMOR and 1800 Tequila, the latter of which will host an after-party and takeover the Friends & Family Deck for VIPs and surprise guests.
“There’s no better way to kick off the season than being out in the city with the fans,” said Hart. Brunson added, “New York showed out last season, and they showed up for us at the Block Party too, so it only made sense to run it back.”
Block off your calendar, lace up your most comfortable kicks and get ready to party with NYC’s favorite roommates in the city’s most iconic backyard.
