PVD will be at the Central Park Summerstage, Aug 28th

[bigpoppanils]

not my taste, but i figured some of you will like this

taken from the Village Voice:

'CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTAGE 2003'
Rumsey Playfield, Central Park, middle of the park, near 69th Street, 212-307-7171, ticketmaster.com, summerstage.com

June 26 & 27 Wilco+Sonic Youth: Jeff Tweedy never tries to break your heart. He just gets despondent when you don't want to come hang out inside his navel. But even if his shimmering pity party left a few of us cold (and his winning of the Pazz & Jop poll colder still), you really can't deny that Wilco has SummerStage poison-ivied all over it. (Lying on your blankie/Beautiful and stoned.) Of course, the outdoor charms of SY are patented by now. A summer day is the best nest for the kind of sexy noise blast that truly breaks hearts from Central Park to Murray Street. (Sinagra)
July 6 Orchestra Baobab: They flourished in Senegal during the '70s, reunited a few years ago, and sound like they've played together forever. This multinational combo delivers a lush and languid take on the Cuban-influenced music that swept West Africa during the '70s, a sound almost Ellingtonian in its sophisticated sweep. Drink, dance, make sweet love, or simply ponder its resonant rhythmic abysses—it's all that. With Sierra Maestra. (Gehr)
July 11 Elvis Costello & the Imposters
July 16 Ani DiFranco
July 23 The White Stripes: The White kids from Detroit have come a long way from the Little Room: At Hammerstein in April, Jack wore a belt with his name on it, pretended to be a southern preacher, and barely acknowledged the audience, while Meg was escorted by a hulking bodyguard. But when they're in action, it still comes down to just a woman, a man, and the energy (and chemistry) that made them famous. And this red-blooded gal sure hopes Jack wears those tight, tight pants again—talk about a ball and biscuit! (Phillips)
August 14 Indigo Girls
August 20 Aimee Mann+Ben Folds: These two kinda sad, kinda goofy balladeers may just have meal tickets forevermore playing date music for the reality TV demo. Look around and you'll see lots of people who buy '70s radio-rock comps from on-screen 800 numbers. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dash of chutzpah in your Karen Carpenter and a sprig of savvy in your Billy Joel. Don't forget the Zima (Admit it you guys, Zima tastes realllly good). (Sinagra)
August 28 Paul van Dyk

full details will be released tomorrow

[solbeam]

nice way to spend a day in nyc

[nite4earth]

Can't wait!!! Saw him at the Ultra, he skipped a bit, but never the less he's awesome!!!

[karisma]

wow, that sounds like its going to be amazing.. thanks

[Xpander]

If it's free, no reason not to check it out.

Gonna be a friggin' MADHOUSE though.

[nite4earth]

Well, for it being a mad house I don't care at all.

I was at the ULTRA this year and if that isn't a mad house then I don't know what is.

I guess the next best thing would be the LOVE PARADE!!

PVD fans are very cool!!!

IDK about that, it's a big jump from one to the other.

But as far as the madhouse thing goes... you don't even have to be near the actual stage to hear the music fine- there'll probably be more room for shakin' your thang on the outside anyway. I spent the Basement Jaxx show parked right outside the fence with all the other dancing fools...

[chris817]

you will have to get there really early. I went to basement Jaxx 2 summers ago, there was a line through central park.
best bet just take a blanket and find a spot near where he is playing. You will hear the enitire set without the crowd and smelly porto potties

[girly]

are all these shows free? i woudn't mid seeing the white stripes

[mssabina]

central park always has great free events going on in the summer... i always miss shakespeare in the park, they're doing henry V this year, definitely want to try to catch a show

[thehunter]

Just imagine if there was a love parage in NYC. That would be nuts. Who needs all these street fairs and ethnic parades. What this city needs is love parade or something like Rosenmontags
