Sonic Youth will take the honors as the final band to play Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool. The influential indie-rock band will perform at the venue on August 30, shortly before the land is turned back into a working pool as part of Major Michael Bloomberg’s current greening initiatives. McCarren Park Pool officially closed in 1983, but began hosting live music in 2006. Sonic Youth has played three shows at McCarren Park Pool since then, including two gigs in 2006 and an encore appearance in 2007. Other acts who have played the pool since 2006 include Gov’t Mule, the Shins, the Disco Biscuits, Umphrey’s McGee, Of Montreal, Feist, Broken Social Scene, the Slip, Apollo Sunshine, TV on the Radio, the Hold Steady, Devo and Tom Tom Club, among others.

JELLYNYC has also recently confirmed another McCarren Park Pool show at part of its free Pool Party. The free event will take place on series on August 10, boasting performances by The Felice Brothers, Langhorne Slim, Eli “Paperboy” Reed & The True Loves & Deer Tick. The Pool Parties kicked off on June 29 with a high-profile performance by The Hold Stead and will run every Sunday through August. Bonnaroo veterans MGMT will headline this Sunday’s Pool Party.
