Last week, Vulture announced that its entertainment extravaganza Vulture Festival is expanding to Los Angeles in 2017, with a weekend of pop culture events set for Nov. 18 and 19 at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt. But more importantly to Downtown, the fourth edition of Vulture Festival New York will take place May 20 and 21 at Milk Studios.

The Vulture Festival is known to bring together today’s television, film, comedy, and music over the course of a weekend-long series of high-profile events. The talent lineup for Vulture Festival New York will be announced in the spring, comprising roughly 40 events from panels to screenings to live podcast recordings. Past participants have included Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Poehler, Shonda Rhimes, Trevor Noah, Ethan Hawke, Solange, and The Muppets. Sponsors for Vulture Festival New York include AT&T/DIRECTV, with a two-year commitment, and TNT, which will also sponsor Vulture Festival Los Angeles.
