Highline Ballroom, Liberty Event Management, and Water Taxi Beach team up this summer to present a large lineup of ticketed and free concerts over the next few months.  With a short boat ride over to the island this is a unique and fun space which will make for a fun concert going experience.  Of course the biggest concerts taking place there are not free but still worth checking out.  On 08.04.09 Erykah Badu headlines a Tuesday night at The Beach.  Later, Mos Def comes through on 09.12.09 with the “Ecstatic Tour” in support of The Ecstatic which was released a few weeks ago.  These are just two of the many shows going down, all which are listed on their website.  Tickets to Badu go on-sale Saturday for $52 and Mos goes on sale two days later for $35.
