Ferg, Skillibeng, El Alfa, Ludmilla, and More Are Coming to Planet Brooklyn
The music festival hits the borough August 23 and 24.

Planet Brooklyn is three weeks away.
The music festival, which will feature shows across Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Paramount, and BAM, will kick off Saturday, August 23, and run through the weekend.
Ferg, El Alfa, and Lil Pump will be among those playing Barclays Center Saturday, while Afro-Brazilian star Ludmilla will headline MUTHA, a micro-festival celebrating gender and genre fluidity at the Brooklyn Paramount. Daymé Arocena, meanwhile, will take the stage at BAM. Sunday’s lineup features Machel Montano, Skillibeng, Majah Hype, and others at Barclays Center.
Both days will also include block parties across three outdoor stages hosted by Everyday People, Dos Flakos, Saint James Joy, Quench, and the Afro-Latino Fest NYC. Vibes will be strong, while entry will be free.
Also of note: food and goods from a selection of vendors.
To see the full lineup and pick up tickets, head to the Planet Brooklyn site.
