The Unisphere, which was commissioned for the 1964-1965 World’s Fair, at Flushing Meadows Corona Park during The Roots’ performance on Sunday, July 20, 2025.

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, The Roots closed the weekend of Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage shows at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Corona, Queens.

The long running hip-hop band performed songs across their catalog, and included a cover of Main Source’s “Looking at the Front Door,” a nod to MC Large Professor’s origins from Flushing.

I covered the show for Impose Magazine and the gallery can be found on their website.
