NEW YORK, April 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

--Light show to begin on Saturday, April 11 at Midnight

The Empire State Building (ESB) and iHeartMedia today announced a weekend break

for New York City -- a rock and roll midnight music-to-light show featuring The

Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" and "A Day in the

Life," premiering Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12 at 12:00 a.m.

iHeartMedia's Q104.3, New York's Classic Rock, also available on the

iHeartRadio app, will broadcast the songs live while ESB's world-famous tower

lights play a brand-new show designed and executed by its resident lighting

artist, Marc Brickman. ESB and iHeartMedia will continue the special midnight

shows each weekend while the stay-at-home order is in place.

"Some people need a break, a chance to sing out loud and shake off the stress

of the week. We encourage everyone at home, First Responders, and people around

the world to look outside and have a moment of fun," said Anthony E. Malkin,

Chairman and CEO of ESRT.

"In moments like these, it's important that New Yorkers continue to stand

united and support and encourage each other," said Tom Poleman, Chief

Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. "We are excited to give our resilient city

something to look forward to this weekend as we once again partner with New

York's most iconic building with a synchronized music-to-light show, this time

on our New York classic rock station, Q104.3."

In addition to its new light show, ESB will continue its nightly programming:

-- The heartbeat of New York City in solidarity and support to the over 1

million people in 180 countries affected by COVID-19

-- The hourly sparkle in the colors of first responders to pay respect to

the heroic emergency workers on the front line of the fight. The colors

include yellow, blue, red, white, green, and grey for the dispatchers,

law enforcement, correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, and

military members of our communities who have put their lives on the

line on behalf of us all

-- The nightly 9:00 p.m. Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind music-to-light

show in partnership with iHeartMedia and Z100. Each night, Elvis Duran

kicks off the light show LIVE by identifying and saluting a hero on the

front line. Remember to join the conversation by posting a video on

social media #EmpireStateBuilding and #iHeartNewYork

-- A five-minute moment of darkness directly following the 9:00 p.m. show

to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives in the global

pandemic and those who grieve for them.

The shows will also video stream to all live via Earthcam at
