After two years of fighting COVID and a long winter, New Yorkers are ready for fun in the sun. And open-air festivals are ready to please the citizens again. Edition New York Post put together a list of the best NYC summer festivals for theatre, music, film, food and more.

Governors Ball Music Festival

After COVID moved this mega event to September last year, Governor's Ball returns to its usual place in the June calendar. And again, it will be held at the home arena of the New York Mets - Citi Field.

Kid Cudi is headlining Day 1 of the festival, which will also feature performances by Migos, Black Pumas, rapper First Class and Jack Harlow. Day 2 features Halsey, rapper Roddy Rich and Flume. Jay Cole performs on Day 3 with R&B diva Jazmine Sullivan, the Glass Animals and Grammy-winning DJ Kaytranada.

Gov Ball After Dark will bring the party indoors with concerts at clubs across the city including Irving Plaza (Tuve Lo June 9th), Bowery Ballroom (Soccer Mommy June 10th) and Brooklyn's Elsewhere (Kaytranada June 11th).

Forest Hills Stadium

A long time ago, Forest Hill Stadium hosted the US Open. Now its pastoral setting and country club atmosphere make it a magical venue for music festivals. Compound this season offers an eclectic range of performances for music lovers of all tastes.

The series kicks off June 3rd with Grammy-winning indie folk from Bon Iver. Then Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will perform on June 4th. Australian electronic trio Rüfüs du Sol will delight the public on 10 and 11 June. And indie rocker Phoebe Bridgers will rock the crowd on June 16th. Later in the summer, Norah Jones will light the stage on August 4th and LL Cool J will headline the Rock the Bells festival on August 6th.

The Rooftop concert series at Pier 17

In four years, this South Street Port venue has become a summer music haven, and the Brooklyn Bridge has become a scenic backdrop for performances by countless artists. Among the performers moored to pier 17 this year, singer-songwriter Vance Joy (June 4), reggae band Rebelution (June 15) and rapper Pusha T, who recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his new album “It's Almost Dry” (June 16) ). Highlights in July include a performance by Australian pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (July 12 and 13), as well as a nostalgia night with Psychedelic Furs (July 15). August will then open with rowdy indie artist Girl in Red (August 2), Elvis Costello & the Imposters (August 11) and legend Blondie (August 17 and 18).
