Weekend Warm-Up Skate Session (Xanadu Presents)

Xanadu Presents listed its Weekend Warm-Up skate session for Friday, May 22, 2026, at Xanadu, a roller rink and live-events venue at 262 Starr St. in Brooklyn. The event appears on third-party event calendars tied to the venue's programming and is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. Tickets were listed at $18.54 and $13.39, and the event was marked 16-plus on the Brooklyn Vegan NYC Shows venue page. Friday's listing places the skate session inside a broader run of Xanadu events that includes concerts, classes and other themed skate nights. Xanadu's website describes the venue as a roller arts space and live music room in New York City, with rental skates and protective gear available for an added fee and personal inline or quad skates also permitted. ### Where is the session happening, and who is presenting it? (nyc-shows.brooklynvegan.com) Brooklyn Vegan's event listing names Xanadu Presents as the presenter and gives the venue as Xanadu at 262 Starr St., Brooklyn, NY 11237. The same venue page groups Weekend Warm-Up with other house-produced events, including Open Skate Happy Hour, Sunday Afterglow and weekday instructional classes. (xanadu.nyc) Xanadu's own website identifies the business as a roller rink and performance space in New York City. The site says the floor spans 7,000 square feet of Canadian maple and that the venue hosts skating, dancing, food, drinks and live shows. ### What do the available listings say about Friday's event? Friday, May 22 is listed on the Brooklyn Vegan venue calendar with "Weekend Warm-Up (skate)" at 4:00 p.m. (nyc-shows.brooklynvegan.com) The same line shows two ticket prices — $18.54 and $13.39 — along with a 16+ age designation. A separate event page indexed through Union describes Weekend Warm-Up as a Friday session running from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and says, in promotional copy, that attendees can "roll out the week's stress" and treat the session as an end-of-week workout and pre-game. (xanadu.nyc) The page also says ticket purchase does not include skate rental. (nyc-shows.brooklynvegan.com) ### What does Xanadu say skaters should expect at the venue? Xanadu's website says the venue offers adult, youth and junior rental skates, plus protective gear, for an additional fee on a first-come, first-served basis. The site also says guests may bring their own inline or quad skates. A Xanadu FAQ excerpt carried on a DICE event page says the venue is generally 21+ unless otherwise stated, and that some events are specifically designated as skating sessions. (union.fit) That matches the Friday listing's 16+ tag, which signals an exception to the venue's default age policy. (xanadu.nyc) ### How does the session fit into the rest of the weekend schedule? The May 22 venue calendar places Weekend Warm-Up before a 7:00 p.m. Mike D concert later the same night. The following day, the same page lists Xanadu Day Disco at 12:00 p.m., also with 16+ admission and comparable ticket pricing. Sunday's calendar continues with Sunday Afterglow at noon and a Sunday evening skate-club event presented by Xanadu Presents. (dice.fm) The listings show Xanadu using weekend afternoons and early evenings for recurring skate programming alongside concerts and club-format events. ### What comes next after the May 22 session?
