In light of COVID restrictions being lifted in New York City, Sony Presents Blue Note Jazz Festival has decided to merge the 2:30pm and 7:30pm Galactic shows together into one show at 7:30pm with doors at 6:00pm.

All previously purchased orders for the 2:30pm show will be valid at the 7:30pm show. If you purchased tickets to the 2:30pm show and cannot attend the 7:30pm show, please reach out to boxoffice@cityparksfoundation.org to request a refund.

Seating in the venue will be adjusted to the following:

Tickets purchased at the $85 and $75 price levels and at the $65, $55, and $45 price levels will have designated sections within the venue. There will be seats available for all previous ticket buyers on a first come first served basis. These sections will function as General Admission but with guaranteed seating. There are no refunds or exchanges for 7:30pm ticket holders. Social Distance will be reduced.

There are now single General Admission Standing Room tickets available for purchase for $45 which will be located behind the previously sold seated sections.

All ticket buyers will be issued their tickets 72 hours prior to show time. 

Masks are recommended for non vaccinated attendees. 

Please reach out to boxoffice@cityparksfoundation.org if you have any questions.

Formed in 1994 by New Orleans college students from Maryland, the band recruited local stalwarts like drummer Stanton Moore and the vocalist Theryl DeClouet to draw upon the funk, R&B, and jazz traditions of their adopted city. After building a rep locally opening for the likes of the Meters and Medeski, Martin and Wood. Over the years, their sound has expanded to encompass rock, brass band, blues, electronic, and hip-hop music, most notably in their 2007 LP From the Corner to the Block, which featured New Orleans OGs like Trombone Shorty and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux alongside the likes of Boots Riley, Juvenile, Z-Trip, and members of Digable Plaents, Blackalicious, and Jurassic 5. Their latest LP, 2019’s Already Ready Already, features five different singers and electronic instruments atop modern dance and funk rhythms.
