Planet Brooklyn is Coming

By Brooklyn Magazine

If you’ve lived in or visited the borough for long enough, you already know Brooklyn’s summer programming is the stuff of legend. And while we can’t offer full details just yet, BKMAG is excited to announce Planet Brooklyn, a first-of-its-kind music festival, is coming to not one or two, but three, iconic stages this year.

Without revealing too much here, we’ll be bringing top-notch performances from global hit-makers and buzzing local artists to BAM, Brooklyn Paramount, and Barclays Center on August 23 and 24. The shows will be both free and ticketed, and each day of the festival will be accompanied by block parties around the venues, featuring DJs and hundreds of food vendors and merchants from across the borough.

BKMAG is proud to serve as the official media partner for the festival, which was founded by BSE Global, the parent company of Barclays Center, The Brooklyn Nets, and the New York Liberty. “Brooklyn is a unique microcosm of the world—both a physical place and a state of mind—where global cultures meet, inspire, and expand each other,” said DeJuan Wilson, Chief Products and Experiences Officer at BSE. “Planet Brooklyn was created to spotlight artists, creators, and innovators from around the globe who represent the borough’s rich diversity, while connecting people through the creative energy of Brooklyn.”

So you heard it here first. That’s three venues across two glorious days celebrating one big and beautifully dynamic borough. Save the date and sign up for launch here.
