Global Citizen Festival (NYC/2015)

[CopperTom]

Yeah in Central Park. I think it was free, but via lottery or something.

I spent the day earning points.

I know,right! What could be lamer than playing a poverty benefit in Central Park?

Spoiler: show

Nothing. Nothing is lamer. That's just about as lame as it gets.

So everyone around the world stay tuned and get excited for... One show in NYC? If that's true, fuck you pearl jam.

[TouringReg]

Any inside scoop if Global Citizen is it for US/Canada this year, or will there be another show around it?

i mean, at least they're making it clear that it'll be a nyc show and aren't leading the rest of us along as usual.

I went to the Neil Young/FF/Black Keys one, earned the points, but I had to work in the morning and didn't get there until around 4:00. As the field filled up, they closed off fenced tiers from front to back, each 200-300 yards deep. My time of arrival had me in the fourth tier, which was beyond far away. There was a one second delay between the video and the sound getting to us. Pretty rough, but still enjoyable for a free show and a great lineup. Had I known the arrangement I would have taken the day off and gotten there in the morning.

I hope it's another mystery box sale

[96583UP]

they are all too short to be seen from 600+ yards away

True story

[epilogue]

I'm super excited at the thought of them playing this event. I, however, have exactly zero interest in trying attend this event. But, I think it's pretty cool and I hope those that are interested get the opportunity to go and have a great time.

[super nintendo chalmers]

As much as I love Central Park, I hate seeing shows there.
