Add another festival to the New York City music scene.
On Oct. 1 and 2, the creators of the Governors Ball will host the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field. Kanye West, Chance the Rapper, and The Weeknd are among the headlining acts.
The festival announcement doesn’t come without controversy. According to Billboard, it was originally reported that the festival was partnering with the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alliance. However, the Park Alliance is revealing that it is not involved with the event.
There is also concern that having tons of thousands of people showing up to the festival could have an impact on the World Maker Faire — being held the same weekend — at the nearby New York Hall of Science.
