June 8, 20214 yr NYC planning, tickets to be free with VIP for sale. Clive Davis being tapped to bring in 8 acts. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/07/arts/music/postcovid-concert-central-park.html My question is who might be available to play this thing. Seems like they would want to go big. Some of the biggest touring acts in the last 3-5 years would include: Taylor Swift Beyonce Guns 'n' Roses Lady Gaga and all those are available. I am not sure who else. I would go just for GnR alone.
June 8, 20214 yr I bet anything they get that song stealing POS Paul Simon and Garfunkel to play at that thing.

Also, Alicia Keys. I had not thought of it, but U2 would be an amazing get. They had toured pretty much constantly from 2014-2019, with the last show being in Mumbai.

That being said, there is no show on August 21. https://www.timeout.com/newyork/news/bruce-springsteen-is-returning-to-broadway-this-month-060821?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&cid=~newyork~natsoc~facebook~echobox&fbclid=IwAR0GWKLSTXdRBwXgDsjwd_1_Y9pP8_E0s8mwyODiw-ok48VHiIC7sQFr69k#Echobox=1623173315

June 9, 20214 yr That is exactly why they are going to do this. It will be 40 years since the 'reunion' in Central Park. Springsteen will be there as well.
June 17, 20214 yr If Springsteen shows up at an event, I think it's more likely it'll be Sea Hear Now in Asbury Park a few weeks later. They already announced both Patti Scialfa and Patti Smith in the lineup. And his Broadway show is over by then.

New York State of Mind would be required. And Miami 2017 because we’ve “seen the lights go out on Broadway.” That would have to happen. Edited June 21, 20214 yr by WhatTheBuck

July 2, 20214 yr Hearing that Bruce will do a duet with Patti Smith which can only be Because the Night. So expect acts to do a song or two, not full sets.
