Panorama Music Festival will not go down in 2019, Billboard reports.
“Panorama will be taking a hiatus in 2019 while we continue discussions with NYC Parks to bring the festival to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where it was originally envisioned,” AEG wrote in a statement.
The festival, which is backed by AEG and Goldenvoice, took place at Randalls Island in New York City. 2018’s lineup included Janet Jackson, the Weeknd, Migos, Cardi B, SZA, Gucci Mane, and others. Artists such as Frank Ocean, Isaiah Rashad, FKA Twigs, DJ Khaled, ASAP Rocky, Solange, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Noname, Madlib, Kaytranada, and Tame Impala have previously performed at the festival.

Panorama will be taking a hiatus in 2019 while we continue discussions with NYC Parks to bring the festival to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where it was originally envisioned. We had a fantastic experience with Paul Simon this past September at Flushing Meadows and look forward to returning in the future. We were disappointed in NYC Parks denial of our permit application despite the long term benefits this event would deliver to the community and the park. While we have enjoyed our time on Randall’s Island and its great facilities, we feel that we have achieved all that we can at this site. We look forward to continued conversations with City Parks to explore making the Flushing Meadows site a reality. Until then, we thank the fans and artists who supported the event for the last 3 years of fantastic performances.
