Juanes Performance At SummerStage in Central Park Halted Due to Excessive Crowds

Tonight, the Juanes show at SummerStage in Central Park drew a capacity crowd of 5000 attendees inside the venue with an estimated overflow of 12K additional fans outside the gates.

During the performance of his second song, with continued crowds at the gates and out of an abundance of caution, the show was halted and fans were asked to leave the venue.

“For the first time in 30 years SummerStage was required to stop a concert in progress for a non-weather related issue,” said Heather Lubov, Executive Director at City Parks Foundation SummerStage. “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.”

Esta noche, el concierto de Juanes en el SummerStage del Central Park congregó a una multitud completa de 5 mil personas dentro del lugar, con una estimación de 12 mil fanáticos adicionales afuera de las puertas.
