New York’s Panorama festival will not return for its fourth annual gathering in 2019. Festival organizers AEG and Goldenvoice announced the news yesterday via a statement shared by Billboard.

The statement notes that Panorama will use the hiatus time, in part, to attempt a move to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where festival organizers originally meant for the event to take place. AEG writes that they were “disappointed” that NYC Parks denied their permit for the park this year.

“While we have enjoyed our time on Randall’s Island and its great facilities, we feel that we have achieved all that we can at this site. We look forward to continued conversations with City Parks to explore making the Flushing Meadows site a reality. Until then, we thank the fans and artists who supported the event for the last 3 years of fantastic performances.”

 

Read the full statement from AEG:

Panorama will be taking a hiatus in 2019 while we continue discussions with NYC Parks to bring the festival to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where it was originally envisioned.  

We had a fantastic experience with Paul Simon this past September at Flushing Meadows and look forward to returning in the future. 

We were disappointed in NYC Parks denial of our permit application despite the long term benefits this event would deliver to the community and the park.  

While we have enjoyed our time on Randall’s Island and its great facilities, we feel that we have achieved all that we can at this site. We look forward to continued conversations with City Parks to explore making the Flushing Meadows site a reality. Until then, we thank the fans and artists who supported the event for the last 3 years of fantastic performances.
