“We are thrilled to once again celebrate the vibrant diversity of New York City’s cultures and communities across all five boroughs,” said Erika Elliott, Executive Artistic Director of SummerStage, in a statement. “Our lineup will shine a bright spotlight on some of music’s most iconic female artists who have made an impact in their genres, from rock and New Orleans soul scions to Dominican merengue and Brazilian samba legends.”
This year’s SummerStage will also include recitals from The Metropolitan Opera and showcases from the Blue Note Jazz Festival, 97.9 La Mega, Federation Sound 25th Anniversary, Works & Process: It’s Showtime NYC and DJ Rekha’s Basement Bhangra Beyond across more NYC venues, such as Coney Island Amphitheater, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Jackie Robinson Park, Williamsbridge Oval and Herbert Von King Park.
“We are continuing to support rising artists from around the world who are showcasing their fresh takes on various genres like hip-hop, Americana, rock, Latin, pop, and more,” Elliott added. “2024 promises to be an unforgettable season!”
This year’s SummerStage follows 2023 performances from Grandmaster Flash, Tanya Tucker, Noel Gallagher and more. Many of last year’s showcases came in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, which emerged from the Bronx in the 1970s.
