Summer Concerts in Central Park

SummerStage is returning to live this season, bringing its signature blend of live music and good vibes to New York City's parks. This iconic outdoor festival is the perfect way to soak up the summer sun while catching some seriously impressive acts! This annual outdoor art and music festival is returning to Central Park with its main stage, but also Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, Herbert Von King Park in Bed-Stuy and The Coney Island Amphitheater on the boardwalk in Brooklyn, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, Crotona Park in the Bronx and the Stapleton Waterfront Park in Staten Island, with mostly free performances.

2024 SummerStage festival focuses on a mixture of themes like salsa, bhangra, afrobeats, opera as well as distinctly New York genres including hip-hop, Latin, indie rock, contemporary dance, jazz, and global music. 2024’s lineup kicks off with renowned artists, New York-Centrist artists and rising stars such as T-Pain, Snail Mail, Madison Cunningham, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Metropolitan Opera, Trixie Mattel and Amanda Lepore, Counting Crows, Ghostface Killah, The Gaslight Anthem and more.

For an extra feel good glow, know that by snapping up tickets to SummerStage’s brill benefit concerts, you’ll be supporting 100 free performances in parks across the five boroughs. Beer and wine are sold at the venue for quaffing during concerts (but no BYO). Cheers to summer.
