New York marks its emergence from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic with a star-studded free concert in Central Park on Saturday, Reuters reports.
“We're reopening New York City to the rest of the world and music will be the catalyst,” said record producer Clive Davis, who put together the event with promoters Live Nation.
“We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert” features a lineup that ranges from classical to rap including Bruce Springsteen, Barry Manilow, Andrea Bocelli, The Killers, Patti Smith, Polo G, the New York Philharmonic and Paul Simon.
The concert, expected to attract some 60,000 people, will also be streamed live on cable channel CNN. Proof of at least one dose of a Covid vaccination, or a negative test, will be required to attend.
