Hippiefest, the B-52's, Tour Dates & more free concerts in Coney Island

Hippiefest

Experience Hippiefest, the musical flashback celebrating the bands that defined music’s most influential decade: the ’60s. The second annual Hippiefest marks the fortieth anniversary of the Summer of Love – an era of liberation, experimentation, long hair and flower power – with impresarios The Turtles, Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals, The Zombies, Mountain, Mitch Ryder, Badfinger, Country Joe McDonald, Iron Butterfly, Denny Laine and Melanie.

Tour creator Toby Ludwig explains, “This festival is for people who weren’t around in the ’60s and ’70s or were and just can’t seem to remember. Bring your parents, your grandparents and your kids. Come be a Hippie for a day!”

Hippiefest is a tour that hits the free “Seaside Summer Concert Series” in Coney Island on July 26th.
