| Joan Jett kicks off Coney Island's Seaside Summer Concert Series this Thursday. |
The Seaside Summer Concert Series had to leave its old location, but that's not stopping the music. The popular series near the boardwalk in Coney Island, which had to leave Asser Park because of complaints from the neighbors, is now taking place a few blocks down the road, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will be kicking off the series this Thursday, July 14th.
Girl in a Coma, which is on Jett's own Blackheart Records, will open the show. I don't think the neighbors in the old location would have liked the racket these ladies can crank out.
The new location for the Seaside Summer Concert Series, says its website, is at West 21st St. and Surf Avenue, next to the Brooklyn Cyclones' ballpark. Concerts take place on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. You'll find directions to the Seaside concert location here. By subway, you can take the D, F, N, or Q trains to the last stop, Coney Island/Stillwell Ave. Turn right at the corner of Stillwell and Surf Avenues (where Nathan's is), and walk along Surf Avenue to West 21st St.
Also on the 2011 Seaside schedule:
- July 21 - An Evening with The Monkees and special guest MC Jay Black
- July 28 - Mary Wilson (of the Supremes) and The Spinners
- Aug. 4 - "Mystery Night" (artist to be announced a week before the show)
- Aug. 11 - Annual Latino Music by the Sea concert (artist to be announced; Maria Torres Dancers)
- Aug. 18 - Cheap Trick and The Rattlers
The old location featured a number of row of folding chairs surrounded by a lawn area where people would lay out blankets, etc. I have no idea what the new concert venue is like, but the website says it has folding chair for rent. I'm hoping it's a grassy area like the previous site, as opposed to being basically a large paved area. I'll post any additional information I find out about the location.
What good shows are people seeing this week?
