The Palm Tree Music Festival at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach is facing turbulence as the FAA has denied its permit. However, organizers are determined to keep the festival on track for its fourth year in the Hamptons.
The festival, scheduled for June 22, is set to feature headliners like Swedish House Mafia, Kygo, and a DJ set by Sofi Tukker. Despite the FAA’s concerns about the runway closure timelines and confusion over the festival’s duration, which they mistakenly believed to be a two-day event, the festival team is working to address these issues and has resubmitted their permit application (West Observer) (EDM Maniac).
Palm Tree Music Festival has become a staple of the Hamptons summer scene, attracting a vibrant crowd with its tropical vibes and star-studded lineups. Previous editions have seen performances from Calvin Harris, Loud Luxury, and surprise guests like Jimmy Buffett (EDMTunes). This year promises to continue the tradition with a mix of iconic hits and new sounds that capture the festival’s unique atmosphere (Palm Tree Music Festival).
Despite the permit setback, the festival’s spokesperson expressed optimism about resolving the issues and emphasized their excitement about returning to the Hamptons for another unforgettable event (West Observer). Fans and attendees are eagerly awaiting updates as the appeal process unfolds.
