[6] [7] [8] In 2024, the inaugural All Things Go New York City was announced to take place in Forest Hills Stadium, the same weekend as the Columbia edition. [9]

In 2017, Foster the People, Betty Who, SABA, and Young Thug were featured at the festival.

[12] In 2019, the All Things Go Fall Classic dedicated a day of the festival to female performers. The female-focused nonprofit, She is the Music, was a supporting partner. [15]
