Mayor Bill de Blasio is planning a large-scale performance by multiple acts in Central Park this August and has enlisted none other than Clive Davis, the record industry’s most innovative, outspoken and influential executive.
The show, tentatively scheduled for August 21st, is still being planned, with no artists confirmed, though Mr. Davis said he is aiming for eight “iconic” stars to perform a three-hour show for 60,000 attendees and a worldwide television audience.
Mr. de Blasio said in an interview that the concert was part of a “Homecoming Week” to show that New York City is coming back from the pandemic — a celebration for residents and those in the region who might not have visited in a while.
