New York City is getting its own version of The Coachella Valley music and Arts Festival.

Promoter Goldenvoice made it official on Monday, a new festival called “Panorama” will be held at New York City’s Randall’s Island Park on July 22-24.

The announcement said the fest will be, “Three days of music, art, technology, and local food offerings.”

No word yet on what artists will be performing.

The name of the festival comes from the Panorama of the City of New York, a nearly 10,000–square-foot to-scale model of the city located in Queens Museum.

“We look forward to bringing Panorama to New York City and introducing a new festival that showcases today’s top music acts,” said Mark Shulman, Festival Producer at Goldenvoice, in a statement. “We’re committed to creating an event that will provide significant benefits to New York City with the level of experience and meticulous attention to detail for which Goldenvoice is known.”

Exciting news for east coasters, though we already know that the new fest won’t be as good as the original.
