Panorama Music Festival at Randall’s Island Park: What to Expect

This summer in the city brings Panorama, a music, art, and technology festival running July 22–24 at Randall’s Island Park in New York City. Headliners include Arcade Fire, Kendrick Lamar, and LCD Soundsystem, and the weekend blends live performance with immersive, tech-driven experiences.

Beyond the stage lineup, Panorama offers technology-inspired installations and includes admission to the Queens Museum during the festival, where visitors can see the exhibition Hey! Ho! Let’s Go: Ramones and the Birth of Punk (on view through July 31). In collaboration with technology brand The Verge, the festival presents an experiential space called Future Lab, which explores how technology has influenced the creation, production, and distribution of music.

Food at Panorama highlights neighborhood flavors from all five boroughs, curated in partnership with local experts and organized jointly by culinary outlets and food writer Robert Sietsema. Attendees can expect a range of vendors showcasing the diverse culinary scene that defines New York City.

The festival’s combination of major musical acts, museum access, interactive art and tech programming, and borough-focused cuisine makes it a standout city event for summer. Visitors can plan for long days of performances, hands-on exhibits, and opportunities to explore both new and classic sounds in a setting that celebrates creativity and innovation.
