Launched in 2016, OZY Fest is a hybrid festival offering live musical and artistic performances, engaging discussions and delicious food options from industry leaders across the world. The festival is an offshoot of the multimedia and entertainment company OZY, which produces original news and culture content across TV, podcasts, web and live events.
In 2019, OZY Fest was canceled due to high temperatures caused by an ongoing heat wave in NYC. Last year's festival, which was scheduled as a two-day event, was supposed to feature John Legend, A R I Z O N A, Trevor Noah, Spike Lee, Malcolm Gladwell and others. Several artists and talent from last year's canceled event are now confirmed for the forthcoming 2020 edition, including Miguel, Dulcé Sloan, Jazzy Amra and others.
