A powerful Nor’easter moving up the East Coast has forced organizers to call off several high-profile weekend concerts, including the New York stop of All Things Go. Event teams cited public-safety concerns; refunds will be processed automatically for affected ticket-holders.
Updated: organizers later added the CBGB festival to the list of canceled weekend events.
Why the New York editions were called off
Organizers said they reviewed guidance from local authorities, venue management at Forest Hills Stadium, and professional meteorologists before deciding the New York dates could not go ahead. Forecasts for sustained heavy rain, strong winds and the risk of coastal flooding made staging large outdoor gatherings unsafe.
The New York City leg of All Things Go had been scheduled for September 25–27 and featured headliners such as Zara Larsson, Muna, Lola Young and Ethel Cain, along with a broader lineup including Carly Rae Jepsen, Rebecca Black, Grace Ives, Sienna Spiro and Cara Delevingne. The festival’s separate Maryland edition on the same weekend is still scheduled to proceed.
Other cancellations across the region
Event planners in several coastal cities opted to cancel rather than attempt last-minute changes. The decisions affect both large-scale, high-profile gatherings and smaller regional festivals.
- All Things Go — New York: Forest Hills Stadium dates canceled; Maryland shows unaffected.
- CBGB Festival — Brooklyn: weekend programming canceled amid the storm threat.
- Oceans Calling — Ocean City, Maryland: organizers scrapped the event for safety reasons.
- Global Citizen — Central Park: planned return to the Great Lawn on Saturday was called off.
Ticket refunds for the canceled shows will be issued to the payment methods used at purchase, according to statements from promoters. Attendees are advised to check their ticketing accounts and email for confirmation notices.
Beyond immediate refunds and fan disappointment, cancellations carry logistical and financial implications: crews, vendors and supporting staff face sudden schedule changes, and touring artists must adjust plans and travel. Venues also confront the operational challenge of weather-related disruptions during peak concert season.
What to watch next
Weather models are still evolving; organizers emphasized that public-safety advice and venue assessments guided their choices rather than ticketing concerns. Fans planning to travel should verify accommodations and transportation arrangements and follow updates from official event channels for any rescheduling announcements.
These last-minute cancellations follow a pattern of increasing weather-related interruptions to outdoor events. For now, authorities and promoters say prioritizing safety was the decisive factor in pulling the plug on weekend programming across the New York metro area.
