SUMMARY:Friday\, June 26 — Laurie Anderson: Republic of Love\, with Sexmob
DESCRIPTION:7:00 PM | Rumsey Playfield\, Central Park — enter at E 69th St & 5th Avenue\, New York\, NY 10021 \nA genuine event for longtime downtown art and music fans: avant-garde performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson\, a fixture of the New York scene since the 1970s\, makes her SummerStage debut on her “Republic of Love” tour\, backed by the genre-defying jazz-funk ensemble Sexmob. Anderson’s live shows blend spoken word\, electronic processing\, violin\, and visual elements rather than fitting a standard concert format. Free\, Friday-night timing\, and marquee enough that early arrival before the 6 PM gate is worthwhile. \nLaurie Anderson is best known as an early pioneer of electronic music\, but her wildly diverse catalog of ambitious multimedia projects encompasses not only music but film\, visual projections\, dance\, and spoken and written word. Her early experimentations in composition and performance led to an accidental mainstream moment with her 1982 album Big Science and the hit single “O Superman\,” which she followed up with continual exploration and thoughtful provocations. She holds a number of honorary doctorates\, and in 2002\, was appointed the first artist-in-residence of NASA. Her latest album Amelia\, released in 2024\, comprises twenty-two tracks about the aviator Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight. “Republic of Love” was first conceived after an invitation to do a two hour talk on the relationship of government and love from a festival in Vienna. It’s a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America\, with some history thrown in\, reexamining works such as “Big Science” and “Language Is a Virus.” Backed by Sexmob\, an instrumental jazz quartet that emerged from the Knitting Factory scene in the mid-’90s and known for raw improvisation and inventive arrangements\, Anderson’s performance also features the words and thoughts of many Americans such as Bob Dylan\, Lou Reed\, John Cage\, Gertrude Stein\, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. Anderson herself calls the work “a celebration of freedom.” A DJ set from amita will kick off the evening.

SUMMARY:June 24: 8PM Tabou Combo - Lincoln Center
DESCRIPTION:Evening | The Dance Floor\, Josie Robertson Plaza\, Lincoln Center — 10 Lincoln Center Plaza\, New York\, NY 10023 \nTabou Combo has been the global standard-bearer for konpa\, Haiti’s national dance music\, since forming in Port-au-Prince in the late 1960s\, and this set brings that legacy to Lincoln Center’s purpose-built outdoor Dance Floor. Expect horn-driven grooves and a live band rather than a DJ set\, with an audience that leans toward dancing over standing and watching. Free\, general admission\, first-come-first-served; arrive early since this section of the plaza fills quickly on warm evenings.

SUMMARY:June 24:  Black Country\, New Road / Horsegirl / Sharp Pins\, Central Park
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 24 — Black Country\, New Road / Horsegirl / Sharp Pins\n5:00 PM | Rumsey Playfield\, Central Park — enter at E 69th St & 5th Avenue\, New York\, NY 10021\nA three-act bill for the indie rock crowd: British art-rock band Black Country\, New Road\, Mercury Prize nominees known for their genre-blurring\, near-chamber-music approach\, headline over Chicago trio Horsegirl\, whose jangly\, lo-fi sound has made them one of the most talked-about young bands of recent years\, with Sharp Pins opening. \nBlack Country\, New Road is a sextet of classically trained musicians from Cambridge\, England\, who’ve created a unique blend of jazz\, math rock\, and klezmer that turned the Brixton post-rock scene on its head even as live music took an extended pause during the pandemic. After scoring a nomination for the 2021 Mercury Prize with their debut LP For the First Time\, the band went through a lineup shakeup just days before the release of their second album Ants From Up There. The band retired the songs from their first two LPs and took brand new music out on tour\, with vocal duties inherited by the remaining band members\, resulting in the whimsical concert film and album Live at Bush Hall.  Their latest release\, Forever Howlong\, was released in 2025 to critical acclaim. They’re joined by SummerStage alums Horsegirl\, a New York-via-Chicago trio that takes musical cues from ’90s alt rockers; their latest LP Phonetics On and On was produced by the ​​eccentric Welsh artist Cate Le Bon. Rounding out the bill is Sharp Pins\, the lo-fi power pop solo project from Kai Slater of the post-punk group Lifeguard\, who hail from the same youthful Chicago rock scene that produced Horsegirl\, formed while they were still in high school. \n  \nThe 5 PM start is earlier than most SummerStage evening shows. Free\, but gates typically open about an hour before showtime\, and this bill draws a sizable crowd.

SUMMARY:June 27:  East Village Street Fair- 3rd Avenue and East 6th Street
DESCRIPTION:A classic New York street fair stretching roughly eight blocks through the East Village\, with rows of food vendors selling everything from sausage-and-pepper sandwiches to fresh-squeezed lemonade alongside crafts\, clothing\, and local merchant tables. These citywide fair circuits are typically produced by licensed operators\, so the vendor mix is fairly consistent fair to fair\, but the East Village setting gives this one a distinct neighborhood character shaped by longtime residents\, NYU students\, and the local bar scene.

SUMMARY:June 27:  J.Period Block Party\, Lincoln Center
DESCRIPTION:After a historic run at Lincoln Center celebrating 50 years of Hip-Hop\, J.PERIOD is back—bringing the same energy to the block with a dance party for the ages\, celebrating movement and community. NYC summer\, music up\, bodies moving—popping\, locking\, breaking\, and even a line dance or two. Expect special guests in the building\, dance battles\, and you might even have to step in and show what you got. \nBrooklyn-based DJ and producer J.PERIOD is known for live “mixtape” sets that blend turntablism with a full band\, reworking decades of hip-hop and R&B into one continuous performance rather than a standard DJ set. This Block Party edition leans into classic New York hip-hop culture\, with crowd interaction and call-and-response energy closer to a backyard cookout than a concert hall. Free and open to the public\, with standing room and limited bench seating around the plaza’s perimeter.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, July 5 | Independence Weekend Celebration
DESCRIPTION:A second Independence Weekend fair\, running the Sunday after the Fourth along 6th Avenue through Chelsea and into the low 30s near Herald Square. Food vendors\, crafts\, and merchant tables line the avenue for roughly ten blocks\, making it one of the longer fair footprints in the city’s summer rotation. Its location near major shopping corridors and subway access makes it an easy add-on for visitors already near Macy’s or the Empire State Building. Free\, rain or shine. \n11:00 AM–6:00 PM | 6th Avenue between W 23rd Street and W 34th Street\, New York\, NY 10001

SUMMARY:Wednesday\, July 8 | Spoon / Ratboys / Bodega
DESCRIPTION:Austin indie rock veterans Spoon\, reliably one of the most consistent live acts of the last two decades\, headline this Subaru Music Series installment\, with Chicago’s Ratboys and Brooklyn’s Bodega opening. The Subaru series is SummerStage’s recurring indie-rock strand\, and it tends to draw an older\, more music-collector-oriented crowd than some of the festival’s other free nights. Free\, 5 PM start\, general admission\, with gates typically opening roughly an hour prior to showtime. \n5:00 PM | Rumsey Playfield\, Central Park — enter at E 69th St & 5th Avenue\, New York\, NY 10021
