UAlbany’s 2026 Parkfest Changes Venues With Two Days To Go

One of the best things about my college experience was the amount of artists I got to see simply because they came to campus.

Parkfest 2026

Every year, The UAlbany Student Association puts on Parkfest, a major concert in the city, bringing some of the best artists from across America to perform at. This year, bjack$ and Haliii will be sharing the stage with Grammy-Nominated popstar & rapper, Ice Spice.

The show is scheduled for Friday, April 24th, where thousands of UAlbany students will descend on the venue and have a night they won't soon forget. This has been in the works for at least a year, but they hit a last minute snag that may completely change the event moving forward...

Relocating Parkfest

Initially, Parkfest 2026 was intended to take place at MVP Arena. That all changed the morning of the 23rd, when the UAlbany Student Association announced that a last minute relocation was happening. Now, the event will be at the Palace Theater in Downtown Albany, same time, same date.

All current ticket holders will receive new tickets from the Palace, with seats comparable to where you purchased at MVP Arena. Some seats may be adjusted, but they're getting as close as they can.

Tickets are still on sale, and open to the general public at the Palace Theater Albany website.

If you have any questions about your tickets, please call the Palace Theatre Box Office at 518-465-4663.
