  • AEG Live, the company which looks after Southern California's massive Coachella festival, is reportedly considering an NYC counterpart called Panorama. The New York Daily News reports the city is in feasibility talks with AEG regarding Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the location which hosts the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament as well as Mets games. AEG is said to be considering a July date for the festival, which will fall just two weeks after the Governors Ball Music Festival, an independent three-day event held each year on Randall's Island. Coachella, the off-Palm Springs institution, drew nearly 200,000 attendees at this year's edition, an affair which included acts such as Todd Terje and Ben Klock.
