All Things Go NYC 2026 has been canceled due to severe weather expected across the New York metropolitan area this weekend. The festival was scheduled to take place September 25-27 at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, with organizers citing high winds and fan, artist and crew safety as the reason for calling off all three days.
The decision followed consultations with local officials, Forest Hills Stadium and weather advisors monitoring conditions ahead of the festival. In a statement, organizers said the safety of everyone involved was the “top priority,” while acknowledging the emotional impact of canceling an event that had been months in the making.

“We don’t really know how to put into words how heartbroken we are,” the festival said. “Thank you for understanding, and thank you to the fans, artists, and crews who make this festival what it is.”
All Things Go NYC was set to return for its third New York edition with one of the festival’s largest lineups yet. Announced on May 18, the 2026 edition was built around an all-female-led bill featuring Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, MUNA, Lola Young and Carly Rae Jepsen across three days.
Friday’s lineup was scheduled to be led by Zara Larsson and Lola Young, with Rebecca Black, Cara Delevingne, Blu DeTiger and Chloe Qisha also on the bill. Larsson’s appearance would have marked her first headline festival set at All Things Go, while Young was preparing to return after previous appearances at the event.
Saturday was set to feature Brandi Carlile at the top of the bill alongside emerging artists including Sienna Spiro and CMAT. Sunday would have shifted toward a distinctly pop-heavy finale, with MUNA and Carly Rae Jepsen among the day’s biggest names.
The New York edition had expanded considerably since its debut, with the 2026 festival bringing 18 artists across pop, indie rock, alternative music and comedy to Forest Hills Stadium. Its programming has also developed a strong connection with LGBTQ+ audiences, contributing to fan-created nicknames such as “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay” and “Lesbopalooza.”

The cancellation does not affect All Things Go’s Washington, D.C.-area edition, which remains scheduled to take place at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. That festival begins September 25 and features Mitski, Ethel Cain, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Magdalena Bay, Rico Nasty, Slayyyter and others across its Friday lineup.
