figure moe, ani difranco, new pornos and both ben harper/damien marley shows will cost money.. so that means one more eh?

Ted Leo had mentioned during the Knitting Factory tour last month that they were looking forward to playing the Seaport again this year, assuming there were no natural disasters.

im actually excited about SFA, Alex Chilton, Bill Frisell, Yo La Tengo, Christian Marclay, and Hold Steady...not a bad bunch of shows.

Yay summer! Gotta tune up my bike this weekend. Now if only my bike were a motorcycle...

Super Furries!!!!!!

The two Castle Clinton shows should be great too

hey jerry, nice phraseology! rumble strips, right?
this summer looks great...last summer there was nothing i wanted to see, so i'm excited! yay

The most exciting part is that there is sure to be dozens more announced. They haven't announced the Battery Park or Pier 54 shows yet!

I'm hearing early June for the Super Furries. Road trip!

Furries website has unconfirmed June 2 date for Seaport.

waah. this list is so underwhelming.

waah. this list is so underwhelming.

you left out

Glen Phillips (of Toad the...)
June 28: New York (Madison Square Park; Phillips solo)

Sweet, Yo La Tengo at Prospect Park. I just went to their website and interestingly enough there was nothing on it about this show.

Damian Marley is so gangsta! Why is he playing with Ben Harper is is gangsta served on a Martha Stuart dish with a Cosmo?

I just updated the post with a bunch of new stuff including a confirmation I got by email that says the Frames and Calexico are playing with the New Pornographers. Thx to all who contributed.

Didn't they have artists that were actually interesting last year? I would've killed to see Arcade Fire with David Bowie.

The Arcade Fire one was actually for CMJ.

(also - this year is great so far!)

Thanks vegan for letting me know about the free hot chip show. I can't wait! The Warning will be out by that month

East River Music Project hasn't announced yet, either

where is that castle clinton place? also, are any of those central park shows free?

Many of those central park shows will be free.

castle clinton is a nice venue if you can get seats close to the stage...saw m ward, spoon, cat power, magnetic fields, ryan adams, and a bunch of others there over the years.

This is very exciting. Free shows during the summer always redeems NYC for me. The offerings are very sophisticated this year. Lots of great African and Latin music. Styleywhitehipsters, don't be afraid to expand your horizons this year.

OH YA! Super Furry! Good to see them return after the disapointing cancelation of there 2nd night show in NY last November! Did not see this comming at all. Also Yo La Tango sounds good as well.

Castle Clinton is in Battery Park

yay for summer and more concerts!

Is it true that X is playing a free show on August 20 at Damoresh bandshell at Lincoln center??? Can't find it listed anywhere but heard it on WFMU.

Free shows during the summer always redeems NYC for me. The offerings are very sophisticated this year. Lots of great African and Latin music. Styleywhitehipsters, don't be afraid to expand your horizons this year.
