Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in early June the holding of a giant concert, scheduled for August 21, although the date has not yet been confirmed.
The organizer of the event, producer Clive Davis, then said he wanted to line up eight stars. The three-hour concert is scheduled to take place in front of some 60,000 people on site and with televised coverage around the world.
