TODAY Show Announces 2017 Summer Concert Series

Leave a comment

The TODAY Show just announced their annual Summer concert series performers and this year they’ve got some HUGE names coming to the plaza to perform all Summer long!  They’re no strangers to getting the biggest names in music to perform and this year is no different.  Past artists include 5SOS, Dierks Bentley, Shawn Mendes, Celine Dion, Charlie Puth, Fifth Harmony, Fall Out Boy, Nicki Minaj, Hunter Hayes, Jason Aldean, Puff Daddy, and Meghan Trainor.

All concerts take place live from Rockefeller Plaza outside of the TODAY show studios in NYC.  If you plan on attending, we suggest showing up no later than 5am  as there is usually a crowd and entry is not guaranteed even with a Fan Pass. All concerts take place between 7am and 9am and most of the time, you’ll get to see the artists soundcheck as well!

TODAY Show fan passes are available by signing up for the TodayShow newsletter and are the best way to experience these early morning sing alongs.  These passes get you closer to your favorite artists and let’s face it, you’ll always remember that morning when Niall/Harry/Thomas Rhett/Joe Jonas/Halsey serenaded you – not that Wednesday or Friday that you were so well rested for work/school.

Sign up for fan passes HERE and we’ll see you out on the plaza!!  Check out the full line up below.

The Friday Five: FarmBorough Festival Day 1 Preview

Leave a comment

Only two more weeks until NYC Goes Country!  FarmBorough Festival, the city’s first ever country music festival is coming to Randall’s Island June 26-28, with an outstanding lineup of exciting new faces and familiar acts alike. We’ll be previewing the schedule for each day of the Festival leading up to the event.  Up first: Day 1, Friday, June 26th!

1. Canaan Smith – Main Stage 3:00pm
Canaan is kicking the festival off, just days after the release of his debut album “Bronco.”  We are so excited to see Canaan again and finally be able to sing along to every word (guitar solos included!) You don’t want to miss this set.

2. The Cadillac Three – Next From Nashville Stage 4:55pm
These guys know how to ROCK and will definitely get the party started.  For a band that only has three members, The Cadillac Three sure know how to cause a raucous!

3. Maddie & Tae – Main Stage 5:00pm
Maddie & Tae are two tomatoes that certainly turned country music head over heels with their single “Girl In A Country Song” earlier this year.  This duo is poised to fly right to the top of everyone’s “Must See” lists when this festival wraps up!

4. Chris Stapleton – Next From Nashville Stage 5:50pm
Chris has written some of the biggest recent hits to come out of Nashville and his soulful debut album is an instant classic!  Chris gets rave reviews for his live performance as well, and we can’t wait to check it out.

5. Dierks Bentley – Main Stage 9:20pm
5-1-5-0 we’re going to go loco for Dierks’ headlining set!  Country People’s Hottest Guy In Country is sure to heat up the stage as the sun sets on Farmborough’s inaugural evening.  We can’t wait for the sure to be epic festival wide sing-along to “Drunk On A Plane.”

Tickets for the Festival are on sale now!

The Friday Five: FarmBorough Festival Playlist

Leave a comment

We’re not sure what’s happened to Spring in New York, so we’re dreaming about Summer concerts.  It’ll warm up someday, right?  We’re about two months away from the inaugural FarmBorough Festival – NYC’s first Country fest.  We can’t wait for a weekend listening to our favorite Country artists under the stars on warm Summer night on Randall’s Island.    Of course we’ll be singing along to hits like Luke Bryan’s “Play It Again” and Dierks Bentley’s “Drunk On A Plane,” but we’re also excited to see some of Country’s newer acts.  Here’s our Playlist for the up and comers we can’t wait to check out at FarmBorough Fest!

FarmBorough Festival
June 26-28 2015
Randall’s Island, NYC
Buy Tickets

1. Canaan Smith – “Hole In A Bottle”
We had so much fun during Canaan’s energetic set on the “Where It All Began Tour” with Dan + Shay.  He got the crowd going from the start, opening with this fun track from his EP that is sure to be a hit.

2. The Railers – “Ray Bans”
The Railers have a sunny outlook on life and their music is just as fun as they are during a live show.  “Ray Bans” is a great display of how well their voices harmonize together as well as blending their influences.

3. Chris Stapleton – “Traveller”
Chris has written hits like Luke Bryan’s “Drink A Beer” and Thomas Rhett’s new single, “Crash and Burn.”  He’s about to release his first solo album, “Traveller,” in early May.   His album release show at the Mercury Lounge in NYC sold out, so we can’t wait to see his set at FarmBorough!

4. The Cadillac Three – “I’m Southern” 
The Cadillac Three’s new single “White Lightening” is super mellow compared to previous songs from these Southern boys.  Their live shows are not to be missed – they definitely bring some rock n roll to country.

5. Maddie & Tae – “Girl In A Country Song”
The duo crashed onto the scene with their anti-bro country anthem last year.  They also released one of our favorite music videos of the year.
