Created and produced by Constellation Immersive in collaboration with Live Nation and the Los Angeles Media Fund, the DiscOasis will offer a full calendar of events. An immersive experience that combines theater performances with a wide range of rotating live DJs, artists, and special guests.

Located inside the idyllic Central Park, the inauguration of the reimagined area at Wollman Rink is one of the most anticipated Summer 2022 events in New York. There is no better place than this to celebrate New York culture.

A vibrant environment created not only for the well-being of residents and visitors but also to support the Big Apple’s economic recovery. In line with the cardinal principles of the first NY Film Festival which will start shortly. Big names are behind the lively fantasy of this skating rink.

Musical performances with important roller skating artists will instead be directed and choreographed by a director/choreographer also nominated for a Tony Award.

A special playlist of tracks will be curated by the successful and world-renowned producer Groovemaster Nile Rodgers. Does the song “Le Freak” by Chic say anything to you?

New York City Summer 2022 Events: The purpose

After two incredibly hard years, in which New York was one of the most hard hit cities in the nation, a breath of fresh air finally arrives. The joy and sense of normalcy that roller skating will bring to the city are much needed and anticipated. There is nothing better than a liberating activity such as skating that can involve people from all walks of life and which everyone can enjoy. Like other events in New York planned for Summer 2022, a portion of the proceeds from The DiscOasis will benefit the We Are Family Foundation. A foundation that creates and supports programs that promote cultural diversity by empowering young people who dream of changing the world with bold ideas.
