David Byrne has been announced to perform at the opening night gala of
Celebrate Brooklyn, scheduled to take place on June 8.
Byrne will play a set after a cocktails and dinner event at
Prospect Park, with tickets to the early evening portion costing anywhere from $325 to $10,000.
His performance, however, is free with a $3 suggested donation to
Celebrate Brooklyn, one of
New York City's longest- running free
outdoor performing arts festivals.
The organisation was launched in 1979 to bring people back into
Prospect Park after years of neglect. All
Celebrate Brooklyn performances are free but other bands such as
MGMT (July 1) and
Animal Collective (August 14) will play ticketed shows in the park this year.
