It's the most wonderful time of the year - the time when free outdoor concert series start announcing their summer lineups.
Central Park SummerStage is off the hook in 2010: highlights include Dan Deacon, Jimmy Cliff, St. Vincent, The xx, Public Enemy, Pharoahe Monch, and Doug E. Fresh. There's also a pretty rad benefit lineup (yes, that means these tickets cost money) including John Butler Trio & State Radio, The Flaming Lips (sold out), The Black Keys & The Morning Benders (sold out), Hot Chip, Hercules and Love Affair & Holy Ghost.
If you didn't snatch up Keys tickets fast enough (muahaha), word on the street is that they'll be playing a secret show this Saturday night - downtown location yet to be announced.
And let's not forget our favorite outer borough - Celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park Bandshell is hosting The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sonic Youth, Metric, and many more. If you're not broke, tickets to benefit shows by Rufus Wainwright and The Dead Weather (Jack White's newest musical venture) are still available.
Stay tuned for the Jelly NYC Pool Parties list, which Chuck Schumer recently confirmed will be back again with eight sure-to-be-sicknasty shows. Schumer reportedly "can't wait to ride [his] bike this summer to the East River Park to rock out at these concerts once again." Me too, Chuck. Me too.

I was able to experience of a lot of outdoor concerts (Denver-based) last summer and I do hope for another band lineup this Christmas at Glendale parks and recreations. It has been a tradition here and I do hope that my favorite band would play.
