From Pier 17’s Rooftop Concert Series and Bryan’t Park’s Picnic Performances to Forest Hills Stadium’s Summer Concert Series, our NYC summer calendar is already packed. But this is just the start of a summer full of music popping up across the city.
Hudson Yards, NYC’s premiere outdoor entertainment destination, has announced its 2026 programming for Backyard at Hudson Yards presented by Wells Fargo, and with it comes the destination’s free outdoor concert series.
The free concerts will take place every Wednesday from May 13 through June 3 in the Public Square and Gardens. The lineup features a star-studded lineup of top artists, with the opening act beginning at 6 pm and headlining act at 7 pm.
Throughout each show, the Wells Fargo Club will serve complimentary snacks and beverages to Wells Fargo customers.
Along with the free concerts, season highlights also include fitness classes with ALO, sports watch parties on the 30-foot Big Screen, and family friendly programming.
