SummerStage in Central Park Concerts 2025

Always a great lineup. There's new music and film and acts that you may not know, mixed in with some standbys and fantastic talent. Definitely worth a membership and definitely worth repeat visits. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. This is a rite of passage for summers in New York.

We went to a paid benefit concert where the doors were not opened until 6pm. We were not that far back in the gigantic line, but we missed the opening act since the performance shortly after the gates opened. The venue itself is small, but nice with a great sound system. Plenty of port-o-potties, and there are limited food and drink options, but they were still good. The ground is covered in astroturf, so you could sit on it if you wanted to. Also, there was abundant staff/security helping.

Great venue. My only gripe is that Ticketmaster displayed a square for the GA and a rectangle at the back for bleacher seats. There was no mention that the center stage bleachers are reserved for people who paid extra to get the prime viewing area. I feel like Ticketmaster was pretty deceptive and not honest upfront.

The security was so nice, and the line wasn't crazy. Honestly, the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. Jungkook was so good and if it wasn't for the rain it would be more good but it was still so good. I'm so proud of our boy.

Plan for the lines to get in. It gets crowed. Not worthy to pay for the vip area. Went to Brazilian singer Marisa Montes, great show !! Not a place for political manifestations.
