SUMMARY:Spoon / Ratboys / Bodega
DESCRIPTION:Spoon\, Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors\, have released ten albums to date including a string of five straight top 10 records: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007)\, Transference (2010)\, They Want My Soul (2014)\, Hot Thoughts (2017)\, and Lucifer on the Sofa (2022). The latter earned the band its first-ever GRAMMY nomination (Best Rock Album) and was praised by Rolling Stone as “the best thing they’ve ever done.” Look for hits from the revered catalog and more when the band play SummerStage in Central Park. They’re joined by Ratboys\, a prolific rock band once dubbed “the nicest indie rock band in Chicago” by Pitchfork. They’re touring behind their sixth album Singin’ to an Empty Chair\, a record built around a dialogue between Steiner and a close—but estranged—loved one\, which swerves between bubbly power-pop and post-country Americana. Opening the show is Brooklyn’s own BODEGA\, the anti-consumerist rock band\, jagged post-punk energy and social critique\, whose new album will be coming out via Chrysalis Records later this Fall.

SUMMARY:Duck Down Music presents: Heltah Skeltah & O.G.C. of Boot Camp Clik\, Nocturnal & Da Storm 30 Year Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Duck Down Music and the Boot Camp Clik represent an era of New York City hip-hop that focused on the hardworking tenacity of the scene\, prioritizing bars over bling. In their late-’90s heyday\, the imprint released nine albums including classics from Smif-N-Wessun and Black Moon. The first music to emerge from their label deal with Priority Records would be from newcomers Heltah Skeltah (Rock and the late Sean Price) & O.G.C. (Starang Wondah\, Louieville Sluggah\, and Top Dog)—first as the supergroup the Fab Five in 1995\, and later the following year as separate groups. This show in Bedford-Stuyvesant celebrates the 30th anniversary of those 1996 debuts: Heltah Skeltah’s Nocturnal & O.G.C.’s Da Storm\, two albums that explore the city’s edges with sparse beats and cutting wordplay.

SUMMARY:Mereba / Mack Keane / Arima Ederra / Halfmoon BK
DESCRIPTION:In just 10 short years\, the German music performance platform COLORSxSTUDIOS has evolved from a simple idea—showcasing emerging artists through stripped-down live performances with a minimalist\, monochrome aesthetic—into one of the most influential live-music platforms on the internet. For this show in Bed-Stuy’s Herbert Von King park\, they invite to the heart of Brooklyn a trio of cutting edge artists on the cusp of breaking out. Mereba\, a talented singer and songwriter with a deep connection to the American South who effortlessly flits between hip-hop\, folk\, and progressive R&B\, has already recorded with both big indies (Secretly Canadian)\, major labels (Interscope)\, and Dreamville’s Spillage Village collective. Her debut 2019 LP The Jungle Is The Only Way Out was co-produced by Samuel Hoffman and 9th Wonder. She’s joined by Mack Keane\, the Los Angeles native emerging as a leader of the next wave of R&B. His self-produced 2025 project Entries demonstrated his command of songwriting and storytelling\, earning him a spot opening for Destin Conrad on the Love On Digital Tour. He has since partnered with Star Trak Entertainment – the label behind some of the most defining sounds in R&B – and is gearing up to release his debut album Wide Eyed on May 8. Opening the show is Arima Ederra\, who imbued melancholy with bursts of sunshine on her debut LP An Orange Colored Day; her latest album A Rush to Nowhere takes a morose ‘80s rock sentimentality to bolder and darker places. With DJ sets from Halfmoon BK\, the hip internet radio station turned music media platform and “new age cultural institution” with its finger on the pulse of Black dance music in New York City.

SUMMARY:MIKE's Young World: Max B / MIKE with The Band of the Century
DESCRIPTION:As rapper and curator MIKE’s career has grown from teenage phenom into budding label owner\, so has the size of his tent. His annual Young World festival emerged from the intimate Abrons Art Center in lower Manhattan into the sprawling block party it’s become today\, taking over a sizable portion of Bed-Stuy’s largest park. This year MIKE curates a line up headlined by Max B\, the legendary Harlem MC who rose to prominence in the mid 2000s. Despite a 16 year incarceration from 2016-2025\, he maintained a strong influence on hip-hop’s sound and a cult-like fanbase that’s global\, but most pronounced in his hometown of NYC. For the first time in front of a wide audience\, MIKE will be backed by “the Band of the Century” – the band he developed for his NPR Tiny Desk concert. Additional performers will be announced soon.

SUMMARY:Bilal / GENA / DJ Tara
DESCRIPTION:Presented with the legendary Apollo Theater\, this evening brings together boundary-pushing voices in R&B and soul. A foundational member of the loose late-’90s hip-hop/R&B collective the Soulquarians\, Bilal has an effortless\, understated swag. It oozes from every track of his 2001 debut 1st Born Second\, a retro yet fresh take on soul music at the turn of the century. He’s gotten more experimental as he’s grown\, collaborating with artists such as Kimbra\, Otis Brown III\, Kat Dahlia\, Slum Village\, and Kendrick Lamar on his third album To Pimp a Butterfly. Bilal’s latest release is Live at Glasshaus\, a live recording from an intimate\, career-spanning performance with Questlove\, Robert Glasper\, and Burniss Travis as his backing band. He’s joined by GENA\, a new project from the dynamic R&B artist Liv.e and renowned producer/drummer Karriem Riggins; their name stands for God Energy\, Naturally Amazing\, indicative of their improvisationally ordained approach to making music. On the ones and twos is DJ Tara\, host of misc. on The Lot Radio\, and co-founder of Donuts are Forever\, the longest running J Dilla tribute and fundraiser in the world.

Also featured\, Legends of the 80’s\, a group of some of the most legendary French artists of the ‘80s. They’ve been touring as a unit for more than two decades\, sharing nostalgia and a love of one of France’s most popular eras in music.
