The event brings a rich selection of diverse music to Coney Island performed by bands in various genres, presenting a fantastic opportunity to discover some new musical acts and embrace different styles you may not otherwise be familiar with.
This year, SummerStage’s opening act is one you may be familiar with: Grammy Award-winning rapper, actor, and Brooklyn native Big Daddy Kane.
