Guide to Randalls Island: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Randalls Island is a favorite New York City destination for open-air concerts, marquee festivals, and big-time sporting events, set just off Manhattan’s East Side and framed by skyline views. The island’s expansive festival grounds and waterfront lawns make it ideal for multi-stage lineups and large crowds, while Icahn Stadium hosts track meets and special events with stadium amenities. Fans can expect spacious sightlines, curated food trucks, and a city-meets-park vibe that turns any show into a standout memory.

Getting there is part of the fun. Access the island via the 103rd Street pedestrian bridge, the M35 bus from 125th Street, or designated walkways on the RFK Bridge from Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx.
