What's going on Sunday?
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Afropunk Fest @ Commodore Barry Park
Brooklyn’s annual Afropunk festival wraps up today and it’s truly stacked. There’s rap legend Ice Cube, who’s been having a bit of a moment since the NWA movie and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, hardcore legends Bad Brains, the genre-defying Fishbone, art-soul great Janelle Monae, introverted rap great Earl Sweatshirt, and more.
Action Bronson @ The Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk
Flushing, NY’s favorite foodie-rapper Action Bronson heads to Coney Island today for a show that’s happening in conjunction with the first-ever Sports Illustrated Summer of Swim Fan Festival (true story).
Goldlink, Backyard Band, DJ Spicoli @ Central Park SummerStage
The free SummerStage shows continue today with DC rapper GoldLink headlining.
Joseph Arthur, Joan As Police Woman @ City Winery
Singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur is a very busy guy, and tonight he plays his second of two City Winery shows this month. Joan As Police Woman (the long-running project of former Dambuilders violinist Joan Wasser) opens.
DJ Paypal, Feloneezy, Jackie Dagger, Mel G, Durban @ Trans-Pecos
Having just played Warm Up yesterday, the eccentric Brainfeeder-signed DJ Paypal plays Ridgewood tonight.
California X, Nine of Swords, Laika’s Orbit, HVAC @ Shea Stadium
Shea hosts a night of punky rock, headlined by the Dinosaur Jr-inspired California X.
White Lighters (Brandon Setta of Nothing), Growing Stone, Mark Lanky, Patch Kid @ Black Bear Brooklyn
When he’s not playing in heavy shoegazers Nothing, Brandon Setta makes more stripped-down music as White Lighters.
Dave Chappelle @ The Cutting Room
The hilarious Dave Chappelle has a handful of intimate NYC shows this month at The Cutting Room and Gramercy Theatre. It’s a treat to see him in an environment this size, and not surprisingly sold out.
For all of tonight’s shows, and tomorrow’s, check out our NYC concert calendar.
For laughs, check out the NYC Comedy calendar too.
