In an event that will likely vie with the Billy Joel concerts at Shea Stadium for the title of biggest summer event, Bon Jovi will play a free concert in Central Park. The concert will take play on July 12th at 8PM.

According to the official announcement on MLB.com, “No more than 60,000 fans will be allowed to attend the event, which Bloomberg said he hoped would be the largest concert in the history of Central Park’s Great Lawn.”

Concert goers must have a ticket to attend the event. Tickets will be distributed starting at 9AM on July 2nd at four locations throughout the city. This is going to be a super hot ticket so you might as well start camping out now if you want to pick some up.
