NYC had a packed lineup of music festivals this year, including one notable newbie.
Our friends over in Washington DC have been enjoying All Things Go Festival for over 10 years now, with three three consecutive sold out iterations, but we New Yorkers had to hop on a plane to enjoy the festival for ourselves – until now!
On June 11th, All Things Go has announced the lineup for its first-ever expansion to NYC with its inaugural festival at the iconic Forest Hills Stadium! The festival will take place on Saturday, September 28th, and Sunday, September 29th, the same weekend as its Washington DC area counterpart.
Headlining this year’s New York lineup are Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monáe, Roan, MUNA, Ethel Cain, and Julien Baker.
Headliners will be joined by a slew of other heavy-hitters and emerging talent. The lineup is as follows:
Saturday, September 28

Sunday, September 29

On September 26th, Chappell Roan canceled her All Things Go performance, making the announcement via Instagram.
“I feel pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now, and I need a few days to prioritize my health,” part of her Instagram Stories read. “I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding. Be back soon xox”
Founded in 2011, All Things Go is an independent music festival and creative house welcoming attendees from more than half the states in the U.S. and multiple countries. The festival always promises to deliver a unique, diverse lineup while elevating underrepresented voices and focusing on female and non-binary artists.
Past performers include Billie Eilish, boygenius, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Mitski, HAIM, Charli XCX, MUNA, Lizzy McAlpine, Carly Rae Jepsen, Bleachers, Tove Lo, and many more.
Beyond the lineup the festival fosters a strong sense of community among attendees, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for music lovers to come together and celebrate their shared passion. Some artists and fans have lovingly given it some cheeky nicknames, including “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay,” and “Lesbopalooza.”
