Wimbledon is returning to New York in style this summer and it’s bringing a major star along for the ride. On Friday, July 11, British pop sensation <\/span>Rita Ora<\/b> will headline a free, one-night-only concert at <\/span>Brooklyn Bridge Park<\/b> to kick off <\/span>The Hill in New York<\/b>, a weekend-long celebration of Wimbledon on the waterfront.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presented by American Express, the concert will launch the fourth edition of this U.S.-based Wimbledon viewing party and set the tone for a weekend full of tennis, British charm, and summer energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Crowd of 5,000, a Setlist of Hits<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ora, known for smash singles like \u201cPraising You,\u201d \u201cYour Song,\u201d and \u201cI Will Never Let You Down,\u201d will perform in front of 5,000 lucky fans. The show will feature tracks from her latest album, <\/span>You & I<\/span><\/i>, blending her signature dance-pop sound with the electric energy of a New York summer night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to bring that one-of-a-kind energy of The Championships to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park,\u201d Ora said in a statement. \u201cGet ready for some HEAT!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wimbledon on the Waterfront<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Hill in New York is inspired by Wimbledon\u2019s iconic <\/span>Henman Hill<\/b> and gives tennis lovers a chance to experience finals weekend as if they were courtside in London. Large screens will broadcast the ladies\u2019 final on July 12 and the gentlemen\u2019s final on July 13, with gates opening at 7 a.m. and matches starting at 8 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the action winds down, fans can stay for sunset screenings of historic Wimbledon matches \u2014 think Federer vs. Nadal, Serena\u2019s domination, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

British Garden Party Vibes<\/span><\/h2>\n

The park will be decked out like a proper Wimbledon garden party, complete with themed eats, classic drinks, and plenty of photo-ready d\u00e9cor. Expect strawberries and cream, Pimm\u2019s cups, and other Wimbledon-inspired treats to complete the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

While all events are free, space is limited. Interested guests must enter an online ballot by 11:59 p.m. on July 1. Winners will be notified on July 8, and a limited number of walk-up spots will be available each day. Visit<\/span>The Hill in New York<\/span><\/a> for more details and to enter the ticket ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
