What music is in store for NYC this summer?
- The Beastie Boys had an impromtu outdoor show at 53rd and Broadway today for the Letterman Show.
- Franz Ferdinand’s first concert to NYC tomorrow is sold out, but they played a free set at Virgin Megastore today.
- Stevie
Wonder was supposed to play a free show last week; its listed as
postponed, lets hope thats true. In addition to the Wonder show, Good Morning America and The Today Show are hosting many other morning concerts. - The NY Philharmonic does its annual free show on July 14th.
- The Village Voice sponsors its 4th Annual Siren Music Festival
at Coney Island. The lineup includes Mission Of Burma, TV On The
Radio, The Constantines, The Thermals, Blond Redhead and just too many
other good bands to mention. - The Pixies finally arrive on August 17th for Lollapalooza.
- Two prolific indie bands, Guided By Voices and Beulah have both announced that they’re calling it quits this year. Their last show is a free one in NYC.
- In addition to all this, there are a ton of shows (free and otherwise) in Central Park and Downtown, with artists ranging from The Sugar Hill Gang to The Hold Steady to CJ Chenier.
I’ve been in NYC for 4 years now, but the Midwestern boy in me is still amazed at how much goes on here in the summers!

Isn’t Phish going to have a simulcast concert aired from NYC? Or am I thinking otherwise?
Franz Ferdinand… everytime I hear that, my dorky mind thinks about history class.
You forgot to mention:
New York Asian Film Festival 2004
Shakespeare in the Park

i definitely need to be there dusing summers and not winters.
The Siren Music Fest is going to be HOT. Me and a bunch of friends are roadtripping down to go. I’ve heard TV on the Radio are amazing live, so I’m looking forward to it.
I totally want to go to Rufus Wainwright/Ben Folds/Guster in Central Park.
Now I just need to win a lottery…
Can you believe I got sick the day of the Franz Ferdinand show and had to give my ticket away?
jus like to say, love that trench coat. almost beats mine on hardcore points.
eh, hopefully its not some famous guy so i dont go off looking stupid.
Damn… I just listened to Franz Ferdinand for the first time ever the other day…
I thought they were hot…. but if they sold out on their first concert– they must be schmokin’!

Do they still uncork the fire hydrants when it gets over 90? [or do you prefer 32.2 C] ?
