Anti Social Camp Returns to NYC for Fifth Year, Featuring Cigarettes After Sex, Beach Bunny and More

Anti Social Camp, an annual songwriting camp and music festival, is returning for its fifth year. Taking place from June 9-13 in venues across New York City, the camp will feature Cigarettes After Sex, Beach Bunny, Bryce Vine, Walk the Moon, Taja Kumari, Evan Giia, Louis Cato from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and 250 more creatives.

Over the last five years, Anti Social Camp has cemented itself as a mainstay during New York Music Month, connecting artists, songwriters and producer from across the globe. Part of its mission is to revitalize New York’s place in the music industry and to connect artists at a time where “we’re increasingly isolated,” says founder Danny Ross. To do that, Anti Social Camp will feature 200 recording sessions across 40 studios. Additionally, the event boasts 10 public events at venues across the city.

Unlike most other songwriting camps, which are private and exclusive, Anti Social Camp invites hundreds of creatives into the fold, and it pairs these writing sessions with public-facing music events so that everyone can get in on the fun. Events include the Spotify Industry Showcase, the YouTube Writers Round, An Evening With Republic Records, Recording Academy Anti Social Gala and more.

This year, Cigarettes After Sex will receive the Anti Social ICON Award at the iHeartRadio Anti Social Music Conference on Monday, June 9 at The New School’s Tishman Auditorium. Additionally, Anti Social will feature a conversation with hitmaker Scott Harris, best known for his work with Shawn Mendes, The Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber.

“At a time when we’re increasingly isolated, the need for building community among creatives — in the same place at the same time — is more important than ever. Not just for artists, but for every person who listens to music,” says Ross. “We are artists, songwriters and producers ourselves, so we created the kind of global festival we would want to attend. Beyond recording hundreds of new songs, Anti Social Camp is a forum to interact with every sector of the music industry and shape the future we want to see.”
