Lincoln Center Out of Doors brings loads of free music to NYC this summer

Lincoln Center Out of Doors—an annual staple in the city's schedule of outdoor summer concerts—just announced its run of 2017 shows. This 47th edition of the festival opens on July 26 and continues through August 13, with a diverse range of music, spoken word, family events and dance.

Dozens of international and local artists are slated to perform this year, including one of our favorite new artists, rising indie singer-songwriter Vagabon, playing alongside Mexican pop-rocker Natalia Lafourcade (Aug 11); Roberto Carlos Lange's woozy post-disco collective Helado Negro (July 27); and contemporary classical maestros International Contemporary Ensemble playing a tribute to pioneering electronic musician Pauline Oliveros. Best of all, every show is completely free and open to the public. Head to the official website to see the full summer schedule.
