(Coney Island’s Seaside Summer Concert Series 2012 Full Schedule.)

Below is the full schedule for the 2010 Seaside Summer Concert Series at Asser-Levy Park in Coney Island.

We don’t have confirmed dates for some of the later acts, but we’ve put them in the order that Marty Markowitz recently announced them during a local festival. The list doesn’t include “Salsa by the Sea” a.k.a. Latin Night, but we’ll add that when we hear about it.

All of these bands have been confirmed by Markowitz.

The 32nd Annual Seaside Summer Concert Series performances are held Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. at Asser Levy/Seaside Park (West 5th Street and Surf Avenue) in Coney Island/Brighton Beach, across the street from the New York Aquarium.
