April 23​,​ 2019 -- New York, NY -- ​City Parks Foundation is thrilled to announce the 2019
season of Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage​, ​New York City’s largest free
outdoor performing arts festival, bringing nearly 100 free and benefit shows to Central
Park and 17 neighborhood parks throughout the five boroughs. ​This year’s festival will
showcase 200 renowned artists and rising stars from around the world to local
neighborhood parks, presenting distinctly New York genres -- salsa, jazz, and hip-hop --
alongside indie, reggae, Afrobeat, soul, contemporary dance, and much more. View the
official SummerStage 2019 season announce video ​here​.
Capital One​ is the festival’s new multi-year title sponsor (​Capital One City Parks
Foundation SummerStage​) and its ​official bank and credit card. A presenting sponsor since
2015, ​Capital One​ has helped SummerStage bring more than 500 artists to 800,000
audience members in parks all around New York City.
“Capital One is proud to elevate our long-standing support for SummerStage as the title
sponsor,” said ​Michael Slocum, President, Commercial Banking and Northeast Regional
President, Capital One​. “Free live music and dance performances bring neighborhoods to
life. We are committed to helping communities thrive by supporting SummerStage
performances and keeping them free and open for all New Yorkers to enjoy.”
SummerStage has a long history of presenting artists on the verge of breaking big. The
launch of the 2019 season will build on that legacy with the reopening of SummerStage in
Central Park on Saturday, June 1 as a night of discovery. Audiences will be introduced to
both a refurbished venue and to the music industry’s next big stars. The night will feature
New York City native, the soulful R&B singer songwriter​ Emily King​, along with developing
artists and deep soul revival band ​Durand Jones & the Indications, ​and more throughout
the evening.
“This is a very big year for SummerStage. Not only are we reopening our storied Central Park
venue, modernizing it for its next 30 years, but we are also partnering with our new title
sponsor and looking to the future by launching the season with young musicians
representing the next generation,” said ​Heather Lubov, Executive Director of City Parks
Foundation​. “Of course, throughout the summer, we will present a line-up that is reflective
of our city’s population, focusing not only on gender equality, but also on the huge diversity
of cultures and backgrounds that make New York so special and exciting.”
As a women-run festival with a mission of diversity and inclusion, SummerStage is helping to
transform the future of the music industry by participating in the PRS Foundation’s
international Keychange pledge and presenting a lineup this season that features a 50:50
gender balance. SummerStage is one of the few local festivals that has achieved this goal.
Notable performances by women this summer will include two break-out female-fronted
Canadian pop bands ​Alvvays​ and ​The Courtneys​; Spanish soul-pop singer and Latin
Grammy winner ​Buika​, who will be joined by ​A-WA​, a Yemenite-Israeli sister trio; an
all-female lineup of Taiwanese talents including ​One Fang​;​ Wendy Whelan​, former principal
ballerina and current Associate Artistic DIrector with the New York City Ballet, presenting her
new work-in-progress, ​Carnival of the Animals; La India​, New York native and one of
salsa’s biggest voices; rapper and activist ​Ana Tijoux​; legendary drummer and icon​ Sheila
E​.; ​multi-Grammy winner and jazz songstress ​Corinne Bailey Rae​; and Grammy winning
folkloric-style Mexican singer ​Lila Downs​.
SummerStage will continue its tradition of identifying the best new artists and bringing
together strong voices from around the world to perform in New York City, some for the
very first time. Highlights will include Calypso King of the World, ​Mighty Sparrow​; Puerto
Rican salsero ​Ray De La Paz, ​who will be joined by boricua salsero,​ Edgar Joel​; legendary
Brazilian artist ​Alceu Valença​; Afrobeat quartet ​Magic System​, who will be joined by
Burkinabe rapper​ Smarty​ and Ivory Coast’s ​DJ Birane​; and a night showcasing women of
the Latin diaspora headlined by Mexican pop singer songwriter ​Ximena Sariñana​.
SummerStage will recognize a number of pivotal anniversaries citywide through
specially-curated shows including the 100th birthday of the ​Harlem Renaissance ​to be
celebrated during the ​Charlie Parker Jazz Festival​; the 100th birthday of iconic
choreographer ​Merce ​Cunningham featuring the ​Stephen Petronio Company ​and former
Cunningham dancer​ Melissa Toogood​; the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and
WorldPride celebrations with two shows -- New Orleans bounce queen ​Big Freedia​ and
all-male ballet troupe​ Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo​; the commemoration of the
Harlem Cultural Festival known as B  ​ lack Woodstock ​with bandleader ​Igmar Thomas​, MC
Talib Kweli​ and trumpeter ​Keyon Harrold​ in Marcus Garvey Park where the original festival
was staged​; ​and the 40th anniversary of Queens-based, women-run reggae label VP
Records with ​Elephant Man, Junior Reid, Estelle​, and ​Raging Fyah​.
As always, New York’s own musicians and performers will be well represented at
SummerStage. Opening night in Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park will feature Queens rapper
Pharoahe Monch and Friends​ celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album, “Internal
Affairs.” Brooklyn mega-hit rapper ​Young M.A​ will perform in her home borough in Betsy
Head Park; Staten Island hip-hop heroes​ Force M.D.s ​play a hometown show in Corporal
Thompson Park; one of hip-hop’s great storyteller’s, Bronx-born ​Slick Rick,​ joins forces with
DJ Chuck Chillout​, in Soundview Park; rising psych jazz rockers ​Crumb​ will be joined by
fellow Brooklynites ​Phony Ppl ​in Manhattan’s East River Park​; ​and ​La Sonora Ponceña, ​one
of New York’s longest running salsa bands, will perform in Coney Island’s Ford Amphitheatre.
The ​Charlie Parker Jazz Festival​,​ ​New York City’s annual salute to the eponymous late
saxophonist, will return for five days of live jazz in the neighborhoods near where Parker
worked and lived, including uptown in Harlem’s historic Marcus Garvey Park and downtown
in Tompkins Square Park. Running August 20 through 25, the festival will feature partner
events around the city, culminating with SummerStage performances from​ Mwenso & the
Shakes​ ​featuring​ Brianna Thomas, Vuyo Sotashe ​and special guest ​Fred Wesle​y​; ​Dee Dee
Bridgewater; ​Carl Allen's Art Blakey Tribute; Ravi Coltrane; George Coleman Trio​ ​and
many others.
“This season’s lineup is thoughtfully ​curated to celebrate community across all five boroughs
by bringing distinctly New York artists to neighborhoods where they have personal history.
The Festival also acts as a platform for global talent to perform for New Yorkers, and a place
to see some of the most diverse and exciting talent around,” ​said ​Erika Elliott, Executive
Artistic Director of City Parks Foundation.
The 2019 SummerStage festival will also feature benefit shows in Central Park to help
support City Parks Foundation’s free performances. Confirmed shows to date include ​George
Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic’s Farewell Tour​ with​ Galactic, Fishbone,
