Wire playing a free show @ South Street Seaport in NYC

Wire

All signs, and weathervanes, point towards the upcoming outdoor summer concert season, which is just around the corner. The River to River Festival is kicking things off with a nod to the past, featuring Wire at the Seaport Music Festival stage. Why should you care? Unlike other 70s bands that have been over-saturating the concert circuit, these guys haven’t taken a stage in the U.S. in quite some time; their last show was in Spain in 2004………The show is free for all, and takes place Friday, May 30th at 7 p.m [Gothamist]
