Noname’s Juneteenth Show Canceled, Following Kehlani’s Axed Pride Performance

Organizers have pulled both shows from the SummerStage schedule, raising concerns about censorship and political targeting in NYC’s concert scene.

Local outlet Hell Gate first reported the cancellation, citing Ticketmaster’s event page, which now indicates that the June 19 performance at Central Park is no longer scheduled to take place. Known for her radical politics and community work, Noname once told Rolling Stone in a dated interview, “I could be more anti-capitalist, more anti-imperialist... but I just feel like with the state of the world, we all should be doing more.” Through her Noname Book Club and Radical Hood Library, the emcee has long championed anti-carceral and justice-oriented literature, including works focused on Palestine.
