Summer Stage, the free concert series lasting all summer, has announced its line-up the upcoming spring/summer shows. With
its main stage in central park and other stages scattered through out the five boroughs, every New Yorker can get some free live music into their diet.
Last year I unfortunately only made it to one show, I saw Holy Ghost! and Hot Chip with Iman, which was awesome btw. This year I plan to take full advantage of these free shows with big names such as..
In a "Salute to Hip Hop" feat. Talib Kweli, some of Hip Hops most famous names will be kickin it old school..
EPMD will perform at the first on 6/7 at Betsy Head Park in Brooklyn
Nice & Smooth with The Awesome Two (6/15 in Von King Park)
Slick Rick (7/12 in Crotona Park) LODI DODI
Kool Moe Dee (7/19 in Queensbridge Park)
The Sugarhill Gang (8/2 in Tappen Park, Staten Island),
The central park main stage summer headline highlights..
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE / TWIN SHADOW / BUBBLES
FITZ & THE TANTRUMS
LYKKE LI
GUSTER AND JACK'S MANNEQUIN

I have been dying to see LA's Fitz & The Tantrums ever since I stumbled across their EP "Song for a Break Up" back in 2009, so I will surely be there, and give you the DL on that performance.
You stay classy New York City.
