SummerStage halted Juanes' Wednesday evening concert while he performed his second song, citing concerns over excessive crowds.
SummerStage halted Colombian superstar Juanes' concert on Wednesday evening while he was performing his second song, citing concerns over excessive crowds.
“The Juanes show at SummerStage in Central Park drew a capacity crowd of 5,000 attendees inside the venue with an estimated overflow of 12,000 additional fans outside the gates,” Lubov said. “Very disrespectful of @SummerStage to end @JUANES' concert in Central Park after 2 songs because they underestimated the amount of Latinos that would show up to this free concert,” one fan tweeted. “Like c'mon, he's an international legend.”
Representatives for City Parks Foundation could not be reached for further comment Thursday. According to Lubov, “SummerStage, LAMC and Juanes all agreed that the safety of fans and concert goers was of paramount concern and at the request of the NYPD, made the decision to cancel the show.”
