This is a '90s-indie dream bill under the Prospect Park trees: Liz Phair's razor-lyric songbook and Sleater-Kinney's still-untamed live intensity on one stage, for a good cause — proceeds keep Celebrate Brooklyn!'s free summer programming alive. Outdoor season is ending; this is its last big night. If Guyville or Dig Me Out soundtracked any era of your life, you already know you're going.
What to expect
Two full sets in the leafy open-air bandshell, a benefit crowd that skews devoted and sings along hard, and Prospect Park at dusk doing its best golden-hour work. Bring a layer for the evening cool-down; food and drink vendors line the plaza inside the gates.
Good to know
- F/G to 15 St-Prospect Park or 2/3 to Grand Army Plaza; enter at Prospect Park West and 9th St
- Outdoor standing-and-lawn venue; low chairs and blankets fine at the back
- Ticket proceeds fund the free Celebrate Brooklyn! series
- Rain-or-shine; only severe weather cancels

Common questions

Why is this show ticketed when Celebrate Brooklyn! is free?
It's the season's benefit concert — ticket revenue underwrites the free summer series.
