Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage is gearing up for its 40th anniversary celebration, a milestone that marks four decades of showcasing the city's vibrant musical diversity in all five boroughs. The festival's founder and executive producer, Joe Killian, described SummerStage as "a champion of unique collaborations, bold commissions, and a vibrant mash-up of music, dance, and theater from pop to rap to jazz."
While details about this year's lineup won't be revealed until April, fans can expect a diverse range of artists from across the city, including those native to each borough. The festival will also feature special performances from legendary acts that have appeared at SummerStage over the years.
In addition to the on-stage performances, Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage is launching an interactive online experience featuring photos and videos from past events, as well as a fan portal where people can share their own memories and experiences. A collection of photographs by Jack Vartoogian chronicling SummerStage's history will be displayed at the Arsenal in Central Park starting on June 16.
SummerStage was created to celebrate the city's cultural diversity, with Killian saying, "This year, as we celebrate 40 years, the festival continues to showcase the sounds of the city, from the streets and clubs to the parks." The anniversary celebration will feature a range of performances that reflect the city's rich musical heritage, making it an exciting time for music lovers in New York City.

. Like, yeah, SummerStage is cool and all, but have you seen how much people love going to events nowadays? It's like, impossible to get tickets or even find a spot near the stage 
. And now they're trying to make it even more interactive online? Just gonna be another excuse for people to spam their feeds with pics of themselves holding up a SummerStage merch 
. Mark my words, by year 5, SummerStage will just be some crowded tourist trap 
!! It's amazing to think about all the talented artists who've performed over the years and how they've helped bring people together with their music! I love that they're celebrating NYC's musical diversity and sharing those stories online, it's gonna be so cool to explore through old photos and vids

They've been bringing us amazing concerts and festivals for years! I remember attending one when I was like 10 and it totally blew my mind - I loved how they got so many different artists from all the boroughs on stage. I'm super hyped for this year's lineup, can't wait to see who's performing
