DJ Questlove's Family Bowl Train Tickets

DJ Questlove's Family Bowl Train celebrates a storied residency that has long anchored Brooklyn Bowl's Thursday nights. Led by Questlove, the drummer of The Roots and a musical director known for steering The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon since 2014, this project blends vinyl-led sets with iconic Soul Train video screenings. The Family Bowl Train is more than a club night—it's a living archive of funk, soul, hip-hop, and R&B, curated by a DJ who has shaped modern American music across stages from club basements to national television.

While Bowl Train has thrived as a long-running Brooklyn Bowl experience—spanning years and welcoming guest artists—the 2025 listings emphasize Brooklyn Bowl programming rather than a traditional touring itinerary. Fans still in the know can expect a vibe that mixes warm, turntable-driven sets with visual history, all in a venue famed for its bowling lanes and live music rooms.
