The Global Citizen Festival, scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Great Lawn in Central Park, has been cancelled after organisers cited an extreme weather forecast for New York City.
Planned headliners for the event included Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend and other performers.
Organisers said they had to make the decision to cancel the festival to ensure the safety of attendees and staff.
The Great Lawn is a well‑known venue for large outdoor concerts in Central Park, which has hosted many high‑profile music events over the years.
