New York City's star-studded "homecoming" concert is less than a month away and will be complete with performances by Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and many, many more.
"This is going to be a historic, monumental moment for all New Yorkers and all Americans. I'll put it plainly: You're going to want to be here," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
Entitled, "We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert Produced by NYC, Clive Davis and Live Nation" the concert will take place on Central Park's Great Lawn on Aug. 21. The performers include an eye-popping lineup of some of the biggest names in music, including Andrea Bocelli, LL COOL J, Elvis Costello, Jennifer Hudson, Wyclef Jean, The Killers, The New York Philharmonic, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen and more.
