Panorama started as the east coast answer to Coachella but quickly grew to a landmark NYC festival. Launched in 2016 and produced by AEG and Goldenvoice, Panorama was originally envisioned to take place at Flushing Meadows in Queens but instead was pushed to Randall’s Island, home of Governor’s Ball. In its three year span, Panorama hosted artists like Kendrick Lamar, Major Lazer, ODESZA, Frank Ocean, and Flosstradamus.
In a statement to Billboard, AEG has announced that it would be taking a hiatus in 2019 due to location disputes. New Yorkers can still experience Governor’s Ball, Electric Zoo, and The Meadows this summer but Panorama won’t return until 2020 and hopefully at a new location. Read the full statement from AEG below.
Panorama will be taking a hiatus in 2019 while we continue discussions with NYC Parks to bring the festival to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where it was originally envisioned.
We had a fantastic experience with Paul Simon this past September at Flushing Meadows and look forward to returning in the future.
We were disappointed in NYC Parks denial of our permit application despite the long term benefits this event would deliver to the community and the park.
While we have enjoyed our time on Randall’s Island and its great facilities, we feel that we have achieved all that we can at this site. We look forward to continued conversations with City Parks to explore making the Flushing Meadows site a reality. Until then, we thank the fans and artists who supported the event for the last 3 years of fantastic performances.
