New York City is planning what’s being called a “homecoming” after the pandemic. Mayor Bill DeBlasio is acing it a “once in a lifetime week” that includes a massive concert in Central Park. It’s the brainchild of Danny Meyer, Chair of the New York City Economic Development Corporation Board.
DeBlasio adding, “I know it's going to be a great lineup because we turned to one of literally the greatest figures in music industry history, Clive Davis. Brooklyn's own, Brooklyn born and bred, never forgot the city he loves. I turned to Clive, I said, I need the biggest, most extraordinary all-star lineup you can put together, heavy on New York artists. He said, I'm on it. I'm going to make it happen.”
