The series will debut on June 6 with MAX performing a love letter to New York. Called a "Young Pop God" by GQ, MAX was named a "top popstar to watch" by Billboard and was nominated for "Best New Pop Artist" at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The Billboard top-pop star's double platinum hit single "Lights Down Low" earned half a billion streams globally.

On June 13, LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) will bring its annual showcase digitally to SummerStage Anywhere. Hosted by Los Angeles' KCRW radio DJ Raul Campos, LAMC at SummerStage Anywhere will feature an exclusive showcase from key voices in the Latino LGBTQ community including pop singer Kany Garcia, hip hop artist Mabiland, indie electro pop musician Javiera Mena and rock band Circo. These artists from Colombia, Chile and Puerto Rico will come together with original performances on LAMC's Twitch channel. SummerStage Anywhere will also host the official afterparty with a DJ Takeover featuring sets from RaulCampos and Latin Grammy winning artist Cheo, formerly of Los Amigos Invisibles.

On June 19, SummerStage Anywhere will celebrate the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth, the nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, with a digital day of dance. Tribute performances will be presented on SummerStage's Instagram channel culminating in a performance on SummerStage's YouTube channel, featuring Jamel Gaines' Creative Outlet Dance Theatre and poet Carl Hancock Rux, and a panel discussion led by Executive Artistic Director of The Billie Holiday Theatre, Dr. Indira Etwaroo.

Closing out the June programming is Grammy Award-winning Beninese singer-songwriter, actress and activist Angélique Kidjo. SummerStage alumna Kidjo will bring her Afropop world fusion sound to an exclusive performance on SummerStage Anywhere's YouTube channel, followed by a live Q&A session on June 26.

We are really excited to bring SummerStage to audiences at home through SummerStage Anywhere," shares Heather Lubov, Executive Director of City Parks Foundation. "The arts have been critical during this time of sheltering at home, serving both as a respite and as an important outlet for expression and creativity. And, of course, our city's parks remain some of the only public resources available for respite as we shelter at home. Both parks and arts create community, and that's what we need most right now, even if we remain socially distant. So we are hard at work to make sure we can still deliver SummerStage to you, anywhere, while we look forward to gathering together in parks again soon."

"SummerStage artists purposefully reflect the communities we serve, celebrating the great history and diversity of NYC culture -- something that we are very proud of year after year," shared SummerStage's Executive Artistic Director Erika Elliott. "Through SummerStage Anywhere, we will be able to showcase a uniquely New York City festival experience, authentically rooted in the neighborhoods in which our shows are typically held while curated for a far-reaching global audience. We are excited about this opportunity and look forward to bringing you SummerStage Anywhere."
