This Finals Fan Fest 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 the 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.

Galantis is the dance music project of Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy). RIAA gold-certified debut album Pharmacy reached No. 1 on the Billboard Dance album chart on the strength of platinum-certified single “Peanut Butter Jelly.”

In conjunction with Avant Gardner/The Brooklyn Mirage, the USTA is extending a special presale opportunity for fans that sign up to receive a special presale code here, which will begin Thursday August 15 at 10 a.m. ET through 11:59 p.m. ET. Tickets go on sale to the public beginning Friday, August 16 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
