The season is upon us! Outdoor concerts, performances and movies.
Celebrate Brooklyn is already in full swing but take note that the best reminder of Brooklyn’s 1970’s embarrassing roots is showing this Saturday, July 14th. Saturday Night Fever is playing at Prospect Park! Long before Jersey had The Situation, Brooklyn had Tony Manero.
The Coney Island Seaside Concerts appeal to my 1980’s nostalgia much better than any other (free) concert venue. Do you know the line up yet? Are you ready for this?
Squeeze. But don’t go. I don’t want it to be too crowded. I need my dancing space. If you insist on going, that show is July 20th with The Romantics.
Sorry, let’s backtrack a bit. The Coney concerts start off this Thursday on July 12th with a tribute to Donna Summer. Gloria Gaynor, The Village People, The Trammps and Rose Royce! But that’s the night that rock defeats disco in my world.
August brings us Joan Jett AND The Blackhearts for more 80’s and Gladys Knight and The Commodores for you 70’s fans.
Get your funk on with Bootsy Collins and S.O.S. Band on July 16th at Wingate MLK concert venue. Public Enemy plays with Salt and Pepper (Ok, Salt-n-Pepa) on July 30th.
Full calendars:
