Is Coachella Adding a New York Festival Next Year?
Coachella expanded to a double-weekend festival three years ago; now it's looking at going bicoastal. "The city has been quietly talking with one of the nation’s biggest concert promoters [AEG Live] about putting on a music festival at Flushing Meadows Corona Park [in Queens] next June," reports the New York Daily News.
The event wouldn't be Coachella 2 in name; it's "tentatively called Panorama" and is already working on securing artists for its bill. It may go down a mere two weeks after the city's Governors Ball, which has the folks behind that young fest worried. Tom Russell from Founders Entertainment, the organization behind Gov Ball, which threw its fifth fete in June, tells the News:
“The timing of this corporate-run festival would threaten our ability as a small business to continue putting on the kind of event that has showcased the best artists, created hundreds of local jobs and put millions of dollars back into the city’s economy."
