The event will feature expanded grounds passes, including official viewing parties in Louis Armstrong Stadium for both the Women’s and Men’s Finals, as well as added seating options to view the big screens in Fountain Plaza. The viewing parties in Louis Armstrong Stadium will allow fans to watch the Finals on big screens with a live DJ, special guests, and a live feed of celebrity arrivals on the US Open Blue Carpet.
Following the Women’s Final on Saturday, September 7, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center will come alive with the music of GALANTIS. Louis Armstrong Stadium will transform from court to stage as the event hosts its first-ever Finals Fan Fest Afterparty, headlined by GRAMMY-nominated dance music project GALANTIS. This event requires a separate ticket and will take place at 9 p.m., with rising electronic music star XANDRA opening the show. The USTA is excited to be working with Avant Gardner/The Brooklyn Mirage on this new experience.
