The Battle for New York just became a one horse race as Panorama has announced it will not be taking place this year. Uncomfortably sharing Randall's Island with Governor's Ball for three years has led the AEG and Goldenvoice produced festival to re-think their approach.

As of yet there have been no assurances that Panorama will return in 2020, but organisers are attempting to move the festival to Queens, which was their originally intended location.

The festival released the following statement:

Panorama will be taking a hiatus in 2019 while we continue discussions with NYC Parks to bring the festival to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, where it was originally envisioned.

We had a fantastic experience with Paul Simon this past September at Flushing Meadows and look forward to returning in the future.

We were disappointed in NYC Parks denial of our permit application despite the long term benefits this event would deliver to the community and the park.

While we have enjoyed our time on Randall’s Island and its great facilities, we feel that we have achieved all that we can at this site. We look forward to continued conversations with City Parks to explore making the Flushing Meadows site a reality. Until then, we thank the fans and artists who supported the event for the last 3 years of fantastic performances.
