According to the official Central Park Conservancy website, the Great Lawn was “substantially damaged” during Global Citizen Festival 2023. “The impact of heavy equipment and intense foot traffic in the saturated conditions damaged a large portion of the lawn and fully destroyed a third of it,” the statement regarding the area’s closing read. “Approximately three acres sustained such significant damage that seeding was not a viable solution, and sodding was necessary.
The Great Lawn will re-open for general use on April 6. In the months leading up to Global Citizen Festival 2024, the organizers will unveil this year’s lineup of performers. Last year saw performances from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jung Kook, Anitta, Conan Gray, D-Nice, and Sofia Carson.
