Brooklyn Steel is a Bowery Presents venue, so it joins a family that includes Terminal 5 and Music Hall of Williamsburg. It will also be the largest general admission venue in Brooklyn, with a capacity of around 1,800.

In a press release, Bowery Presents partners John Moore and Jim Glancy promise, "With every venue we open, we aim to create a space where both fans and bands can fully enjoy the experience; from easy access to bars and restrooms, to unobstructed sightlines and state-of-the-art sound and acoustics, we’re confident that Brooklyn Steel delivers on our commitment to keep the music first.”

In January, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy promised that the band's fourth album would be done soon. The band reunited last year after disbanding in 2011. This new album would be their first in seven years.
