Event Details:

The free Aug. 21 concert from Live Nation welcomed a fully vaccinated crowd of 60,000 to Central Park but was cut short by the risk of a lightning strike from the outer bands of Hurricane Henri. Although acts including Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Maluma, The Killers and Cynthia Erivo cold not perform, the event was able to feature performances from Jennifer Hudson, Carlos Santana, LL Cool J, Andrea Bocelli, Earth Wind & Fire, Kane Brown, Journey and Barry Manilow, among others.
