You can catch the besweatered, much-buzzed about indie pop band Vampire Weekend, untouchable soul strutter Sharon Jones and, um, Junot Diaz at Central Park SummerStage this year. The City Parks Foundation announced their line-up and it’s going to be a doozy, with Brooklyn’s Santogold and Diplo getting the crowd rowdy and Richard Price living the Lush Life on the Central Park stage. Bring your blankets to some of these performances, listed after the jump. For more information, visit the SummerStage website.
