The 2018 Good Morning America Summer Concert Series, which offers free admission to concertgoers, announced this year’s lineup this week and features some of the most popular acts of the music industry.
This Summer Concert Series is in its eighth year, taking place annually in New York City’s Central Park, which also hosts the City Parks Foundation’s SummerStage Festival.
Liam Payne, one of the former One Direction members, will kick-off the series on May 15 with Jay Balvin. An eclectic group of artists will perform throughout the summer, including pop-stars Halsey, Camila Cabello, and Bebe Rexha, along with hip-hop artists G-Eazy, Ne-Yo, and Shaggy. Florence and the Machine will stir things up with some indie music, while Fall Out Boy will bring rock ‘n roll. The Chain Smokers are sure to bring something special to the series with their chart-topping electronic singles from the debut record Memories…Do Not Open.
All concerts will take place in Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield, aside from Leon Bridges, who will perform in GMA’s Times Square studio. Concertgoers are encouraged to enter via the 72nd Street Entrance at Fifth Avenue when the park is open to the public, starting at 6 a.m. For those that can’t attend or do not live close enough, the series will broadcast live during every performance on ABC.
Shows will begin Friday mornings from 7 to 9 a.m. in New York City’s Central Park. Check out the full lineup below.
