Joan Jett To Play Free Concert At Eisenhower Park

EAST MEADOW, NY — Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Artist Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will be playing a free concert at Eisenhower Park's Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre at 8 p.m. on July 30. The event is the "Nassau is Back" concert, sponsored by Jovia Financial Credit Union.

“After years of COVID restrictions, I am excited to welcome Long Island’s own Joan Jett back to the Lakeside Theater at Eisenhower Park to celebrate our county's resiliency and show the rest of the state and country that Nassau is back and open for business,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce A. Blakeman. “I want to encourage everyone, especially our veterans, doctors, nurses and first responders, to come out and enjoy a full night of great music in celebration of all we have overcome and all we are still to achieve.”

The event will feature a special VIP area for veterans, doctors and first responders with valid ID on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents are asked to arrive early as parking will be limited. Satellite parking lots with adequate public transportation will be announced shortly.

"We're happy to be playing for all the hometown fans in a place that helped start it all for the Blackhearts," said Joan Jett.
