In addition to their highly-publicized battle for ratings supremacy, Today and Good Morning America have also become known for their summer concert battles.
Well, May has arrived, and while it might not feel like summer in New York quite yet, May means it’s time for the morning shows to announce their respective summer concert series.
GMA is first up this year.
The show’s 11th annual summer concert series returns to SummerStage, Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, where the acts will perform on Fridays. As per tradition, all concerts are free to the public and will take place live during GMA.
This year’s lineup is headlined by BTS. The K-Pop megastars will kick-off the series this year on Wednesday, May 15. Other acts to perform on GMA this summer include Ciara, Ellie Goulding, Bastille, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Chance the Rapper, French Montana and more.
This year’s series is sponsored by King’s Hawaiian.
