How
do you know that summer is right around the corner in NYC? All of sudden, outdoor and often free warm
weather concert series start to pop up everywhere. Whether
it’s the Today
Show’s Toyota Summer Concert Series on the Plaza at Rockefeller Center, or
something like the quintessential NYC gem Summerstage, there are shows
just about every week.
One
of the best (if not one of the earliest) NYC summer concert series is the Good
Morning America free summer concert series in Central Park. The series starts this very morning with Robin
Thicke and continues every single Friday through August 31st. Not
all artists have been announced yet, but it is a rather impressive list of
those announced so far.
It
all happens in Rumsey Field in Central Park. (Enter at 72nd street
& 5th Avenue. Map to Rumsey Field
here). Gates open at the near unholy hour of 6:00 AM and the bands usually
perform between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, but with limited sets. Experience says you
can expect most of the actions between 8:30 and 9:00 AM. Expect big crowds, but
lots of excitement as well.
Among the
highlights are The Beach Boys, No Doubt and Neon Trees. We love that LMFAO
is playing just two weeks after The Beach Boys. Talk about nothing in common. Really
wish they were both playing on the same day just for the awkward conversation that
would flow between the two bands.
