“We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert” it was the last act of the week of free vaccinated-only concerts that the New York City Council had organized to re-incentivize live music in the city. We had been reporting on this, but today due to bad news.
They were scheduled to perform on Saturday in Central Park in New York before some 60,000 people great artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello O Paul Simon, among others, but the event had to be canceled due to a thunderstorm threat that ended up affecting the city that night.
Around 7:30 p.m. a lightning bolt forced to interrupt the performance of Barry Manilow. The organization waited three hours to officially cancel the event at 10:30 p.m., so that many artists were finally unable to perform. Yes, artists such as LL Cool J, the New York Philharmonic, Jennifer Hudson, Earth, Wind And Fire O Carlos Santana, among others.
The concert was part of the mayor’s initiative Bill de Blasio to bring live music back to the city after the pandemic. Finally, the last performance of the night was the short acoustic concert that The Killers gave from backstage later in the evening before the 60,000 people were evacuated due to the threat of Hurricane Henri.
