Call it the greatest weekend ever.
A two-day music festival will reportedly
bring hip hop and electronic
sounds to the shores of Coney Island
this summer.
Performers in the sixth-annual
Greatest Day Ever Festival will take
the stage at the Ford Amphitheater on
the Coney Island Boardwalk on July 13
and 14, according to a Feb. 20 Billboard
magazine report .
The festival-carnival, which organizers
staged in Williamsburg in 2014
and 2015, is returning to the borough
of Kings after going down in such distant
locales as the Bronx and Governors
Island in recent years.
The 2019 lineup includes deejays
Carnage, Cashmere Cat, and Nina Las
Vegas, plus rapper Pusha T, electronic
group Snakehips, hip-hop duo City
Girls, and electronic pair Zeds Dead,
among others.
The $50-a-day tickets — available
on Ticketmaster — offer access to all of
the acts, as well as carnival rides. Festival
reps did not immediately respond
to inquiries about whether they will
provide access to rides at Deno’s Wonder
Wheel Amusement Park, Luna
Park, both, or their own imported
rides.
And attendees who work up an appetite
while boogieing down to the
techno and rap beats will be able to
purchase a variety of food — including
vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and
gluten-free options — on site, along
with alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks, according to the festival’s
website.
