UPDATE: Bookmark this page for the most up to date Summerstage 2009 listings.
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been quietly updating my 2009 Summerstage listings over here for the last little while, but in case you weren’t following along, I figured I’d make a big splashy blog post about it today. While I’ve listed some shows that I think are “speculative” (and denoted them as such), the rest seem more or less legitimate as far as I can tell. Despite that ambiguous disclaimer, this listing is still completely unofficial and please feel free to tell me if I’m missing something. (According to a recent press release, Summerstage will host at least 32 free and six benefit shows this year, I’ll keep posting 2009 events as I become aware of them.)

Thanks for compiling! (The Julieta Venegas, Plastilina Mosh, DJ Bitman (LAMC/MTV Tr3s) show was 7/12/2008.)
Fixed now. Thanks.
No Hip Hop shows this year?? Damn!
that very special guest on June 12 is josh ritter!
i’m from tampa, fl and visit manhattan 2-3 times per year. i will be there on october 1st for 5 days and am trying to find out if anything is going on in central park (concerts, etc.) while there. i thought that oprah was going to be there live every friday, but maybe it’s just next friday. tell, tell. does anyone have any suggestions?

Whatever the time of year, there is always something going in New York. Having said that, the official Summerstage programming usually ends before Labor Day. Rental shows and other events can and usually do take place at the Rumsey Playfield after that though.
