Panorama Music Festival, which made its debut at New York City’s Randall’s Island Park in 2016 — has announced it will not return to the Big Apple in 2019.

Presented by AEG & Goldenvoice — the creators of the popular desert event, Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California — organizers have let music fans know that the event will not be coming back this year.

In its final edition, 2018’s Panorama bill highlighted artists like Frank Ocean, Solange, Tame Impala, Nine Inch Nails, A Tribe Called Quest, Alt-J, MGMT, Justice, Vince Staples, Cashmere Cat, Matoma, Hot Since 82, Nicolas Jaar, Mura Masa, DJ Shadow, MØ, and more.
