Alicia Keys to Close Knicks Championship Parade With Empire State of Mind
Alicia Keys will close the Knicks’ 2026 NBA Finals celebration at City Hall with a performance of Empire State of Mind alongside Jay-Z after New York captured its first title in 53 years; the parade from Battery Park to City Hall will include speeches and a presentation of the keys to the city. Keys, a lifelong Knicks fan, missed the final game in San Antonio to attend Tribeca, but celebrated the win at the premiere of her documentary and later performed with Nas at the Tribeca after-party.
