A mega-concert event is set to celebrate the return of live music and events in New York City with acts from The Killers to Earth Wind & Fire, to Paul Simon, and many more. Mayor Bill de Blasio joined music legend, and the event's co-producer, Clive Davis in a press conference this morning to share the news of WE LOVE NYC: The Homecoming Concert.

“This is going to be an historic, monumental moment for all New Yorkers and all Americans. I’ll put it plainly: You’re going to want to be here,” de Blasio shared. “This is a celebration of our city, of every working family who faced incredible challenges last year and overcame.”
