New York officials have announced a star-studded lineup for the We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert on the Great Lawn at Central Park. Curated by industry legend and Brooklyn native Clive Davis, the event at Central Park has the following artists confirmed (in alphabetical order): Jon Batiste, Andrea Bocelli, Kane Brown, LL Cool J, Elvis Costello, Lucky Daye, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Cynthia Erivo, Jimmy Fallon Jennifer Hudson, Wyclef Jean, Journey, The Killers, Gayle King, Don Lemon, Barry Manilow, The New York Philharmonic, Polo G, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas.
Barry was able to perform "Copacabana" and "Mandy" as part of a medley of hits before being stopped during "Can't Smile Without You" due to thunderstorm and lightning forcing an end to the concert. During a post-appearance phone interview with Barry, CNN's Anderson Cooper revealed the set-list for the medley was to also include "Even Now," "Weekend In New England," "Ready To Take A Chance Again," "Looks Like We Made It," "Daybreak," "This One's For You" and "I Write The Songs," before concluding with (ironically) "I Made It Through The Rain."[ CNN: Homecoming Concert | CNN TV: CNNgo! ]
