The 25th Tribeca Festival, running June 3-14 in New York City, is amplifying its music offerings with a diverse slate of icons. This year's installment features marquee music documentaries, appearances, and performances from artists including Madonna, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Peter Frampton.
Festival head of music Vincent Cassous notes an increase in younger attendees, attributing it to social media buzz and engaging content like behind-the-scenes looks at album creation. Special events include performances and talks with artists such as Madonna and Sara Bareilles, alongside a music video lineup and intimate conversations with industry figures.
A major highlight is Bruce Springsteen's receipt of the Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award on June 13, an event that will include a conversation with Bono and a performance by Patti Smith. This celebration underscores music's power to unite, according to Cassous.
The festival will showcase a variety of films, from Questlove's examination of Earth, Wind & Fire's legacy to Madonna's short film for "Confessions II." Other featured films include documentaries on Mumford & Sons, Sara Bareilles, Travis Barker, and Peter Frampton's career.
