ARRIVE AT THIS SEASON’S HOTTEST OUTDOOR CONCERTS WITH OUR LUXURY LIMOUSINE SERVICE
Low temperatures in mid-April have given many in the Tri-State area the impression that spring/summer concert season is far away. However, smart consumers understand that the concert schedules for regional outdoor concert spaces has long been published, and it can give you a leg-up to secure your tickets early while most have their minds on the next spring snowstorm. One of the best ways to responsibly and comfortably enjoy your concert experience is to free yourself of the worry about driving or public transport; leaving it to a professional luxury limousine service.
In anticipation of spring/summer concert season, we’ve listed
three of New York City and Long island’s best outdoor concert venues. Delux
Worldwide Transportation’s limo
service in Long Island also operates in all five boroughs.
Central
Park SummerStage
Central Park SummerStage operated by the City Parks Foundation and
is said to be New York City’s largest outdoor performance festival, held from
mid-May through mid-September. While there are typically 90 free concerts held
over the summer across New York City’s parks, including the outer boroughs, the
main stage is located in Central Park at Rumsey Playfield. Events located at
Rumsey Playfield (Entrance at Fifth Ave and 72nd street) are typically for
purchase at around $65.
It is important to note that SummerStage event gates open 90
minutes before showtime and that the concerts are held regardless of rain. For
the most efficient and professional navigation through busy Manhattan streets,
we encourage you to contact a certified luxury limousine service. Seats at
SummerStage are often first-come-first-serve as well, so be sure to get there
as gates open!
Regarding refreshments, food and beverages, typically from local
chefs and breweries are available at all shows.
Forest
Hills Tennis Stadium
The iconic Forest Hills Tennis Stadium was initially built in 1923
and is the original home of the U.S. Open and Davis Cup. Located in the heart
of Queens, the stadium is literally built into the fabric of the neighborhood,
providing an atmosphere typically reserved for English soccer stadiums or
Fenway Park. From the 1960’s to the 1990’s, Forest Hills Stadium booked the
most significant performers of the era, including the Beatles, The Rolling
Stones, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix and The Who. After twenty years sitting on
the sidelines, the stadium was revitalized in 2013 and underwent a complete
structural overhaul.
Now, in its fifth year back in business, Forest Hills will
kick-off their spring/summer concert series on June 8th with Belle &
Sebastian.
Regarding atmosphere, before the show there is field outside the
stadium lined with incredible food, beverage, and alcohol vendors, making it
the perfect place to hold a pre-show picnic with friends. When considering
drinking, we always encourage you to choose a reputable luxury
limousine NYC company to get you back home safely. The venue is located
on Burns Street, which is off of Continental Ave.
Like SummerStage, all events are held rain or shine, and there are
three types of ticket options – floor, club and bleacher/bowl.
Nikon
Jones Beach Theater
Jones Beach Theatre was built by Robert Moses, the former New York
City parks commissioner. He developed Jones Beach as a leisure-haven in the
summer for city dwellers. It opened in 1952 and originally just hosted musicals
and performances by Guy Lombardo, a friend of Moses. Interestingly, the
original theatre was situated on Zachs Bay, separated from the beach by a moat
that was later filled-in during the first renovation of the theatre.
Jones Beach Theatre has endured more than 65 years later to become
a premier outdoor venue on the Eastern seaboard, often visited by tourists for
its spectacular views of the ocean. Like SummerStage and Forest Hills Stadium,
concerts at Jones Beach are held rain or shine, and it is very rare that an
event is cancelled. While the theatre isn’t the easiest to get to – there is no
public transportation – it offers the perfect opportunity to hire a Long
Island car service for a night on the town.
The 2018 spring/summer concert season kicks off with Kendrick
Lamar, SZA and Schoolboy Q on May 30th. There is good food and refreshments
available at Jones Beach. The theatre hosts food stands from Guy Fieri’s Guys
Burger Joint, cocktails, craft beer (including locally sourced Blue Point Summer
Ale and Port Jeff Party Boat IPA) and wines from Backstage Oasis as well as
typical concession fare.
Delux Worldwide Transportation’s luxury limousine service offers a
fleet of vehicles to accommodate large or small groups. Give us a call today –
we never close. Call 516-883-1900, use our mobile app, or book online.
