The complete River To River and Celebrate Brooklyn (Prospect Park) schedules are now available.
Prospect Park highlights: Laurie Anderson with Skuli Sverrisson and Peter Scherer. TV on the Radio/Matt Pond PA/Voxtrot. Angelique Kidjo + Vusi Mahlasela. Yo La Tengo does The Sounds of Science. Kronos does Philip Glass's Dracula score with... (wait for it... ) Slavic Soul Party opening. Bill Frisell does Keaton, etc. Canada in NY lineup still TBA but last year it was the New Pornographers, the Sadies, and Stars. The Brooklyn Phil is there, of course, but playing [sigh] "crowd-pleasing classics."
The Bang on a Can marathon at River To River we already mentioned. I may also check out Super Furry Animals on June 2 and what the hell, maybe even Ricky Skaggs on June 1. The R2R website makes it absurdly difficult to just look at the damn schedule, but if you enter the keyword "music" in their search engine, things work out much better. The Hold Steady are on July 27, Dave Holland is on August 3.

UPDATE: Bryant Park announced as well. Prince, Kanye West... insanity.
