In 2020, a Bluetooth speaker in the park - wearing masks and a safe 1,5 meters away from strangers - was the only summer entertainment available to us. But with the opening of the city and the gradual lifting of quarantine, our prospects for this summer have changed. The list of interesting events this summer was compiled by the publication New York Post.
Music
Forest Hills Stadium
The former US Open tennis court will host many musicians this summer. Artists slated to take the stage at this stadium include Bright Eyes (July 31) and Wilco (August 21). And the season ends with two rock concerts - My Morning Jacket and Brittany Howard on September 10 and 11, respectively.
