The Meadows 2017 Set Times, Festival Map, & More!

We are less than thirty days away from one of the most promising festivals of the year: The Meadows. On Friday, September 15, Queens will host some of the scene’s most promising artists of 2017 as well as some serious OG heavy hitters.

In its second year, The Meadows has one of the most stacked lineups I have seen, including Gorillaz, Jay-Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bassnectar, NAS, BIG WILD, and Lido just to name a few. The festival was founded by Founders Entertainment, the same producers who put on The Governors Ball, so you can guarantee that this festival will be one of the most talked about festivals of the year.

Tickets are going fast, so make sure you get yours soon and we will see you out in The Big Apple!

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting party goers and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at The Meadows.

Pay attention to who’s around you and what’s going on around you. Keep your wallet and phone in your front pocket(s) if you can. Treat your phone the same way you would treat cash; don’t set it down on a table or bar and look away. If a friend isn’t standing behind you in a crowd, be careful of your backpack or purse, and don’t put valuables in a pocket that could easily be unzipped by someone behind in a crowded spot without you realizing.

Festivals, in general, are a very densely populated place and are a well-known place where pick-pocketing of unsuspecting people occurs. It’s easy to find yourself in a crowded environment in a line, at a stage in the festival, elevator, or even out on the street where someone could slip your wallet or phone our of your pocket or bag in a matter of seconds. Stay alert, be careful, and make sure to not carry more than what you need!
