Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird To Play Celebrate Brooklyn Shows

Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists and Andrew Bird are slated to play shows as part of this year’s Celebrate Brooklyn series.

Andrew Bird will open the concert series with a free performance on June 10 as part of the opening night gala. The Decemberists are scheduled to play a benefit show four days later.

Sufjan Stevens will play a benefit concert later in the summer on August 2. Asthmatic Kitty says that Stevens will be getting all folk-a-delic alongside the “ten-piece intergalactic ensemble of Muppets from the Age of Adz tour.”

Past performers include Norah Jones, The National and They Might Be Giants. Tickets are $35 for both shows and are already on sale. Visit the Celebrate Brooklyn website for more information about all of this year’s performances.
