Joan Jett playing free concert at Eisenhower Park

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and longtime Long Beach resident Joan Jett, and her band the Blackhearts, will headline a free concert in East Meadow's Eisenhower Park on July 30 at 8 p.m.

"After years of COVID restrictions, I am excited to welcome Long Island's own Joan Jett back to the [Harry Chapin] 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," Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said in a statement Monday, announcing the "Nassau Is Back" concert. "I want to encourage everyone, especially our veterans, doctors, nurses and first responders" — who are eligible to enter a VIP area with valid ID on a first-come, first-served basis — "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."

Parking will be limited. Satellite parking lots with adequate public transportation will be announced shortly.
