Fresh, his birthday party featuring Carl Thomas, Soul for Real and more, and the Funk Flex R&B Birthday Picnic.
“I am thrilled to announce our 2025 SummerStage lineup, a stellar reflection of what makes our festival so unique and beloved,” said Heather Lubov, executive director of City Parks Foundation, per Variety. “The huge variety of artists we’re presenting and the parks where we’re located reflect our city’s demographic and cultural diversity, but they also serve to unite us as neighbors and as lovers of music, regardless of our differences.”
The full brochure can be found on cityparksfoundation.org. Though not included, Kehlani will also perform at SummerStage in Central Park. She’s set to perform at a Pride celebration, taking place June 26. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
