Machel Montano & Ludmilla to Close Out Summer by Headlining Inaugural Planet Brooklyn Music Festival
Machel Montano & Ludmilla will headline New York's 2025 Planet Brooklyn Music Festival. Block parties to connect Barclays Center, BK Paramount & BAM
Planet Brooklyn, a two-day music festival headlined by Billboard chart-topping global soca superstar Machel Montano, will land in its namesake New York borough on Saturday, Aug. 23, and Sunday, Aug. 24.
