P-Funk and Ohio Players Playing Free Show in Wingate

If you have plans for next Monday night, July 12, now is the time to break them -- unless, of course, your plans are to go to the George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic and Ohio Players show at Wingate Field.

If Wingate Field rings a bell, that's where Curtis Mayfield was electrocuted back in the 1980s. It's the venue just east of our fair neighborhood, on Brooklyn Avenue between Rutland and Winthrop (gmap).

The show is free and starts at 7:30, but lines tend to be slow and gruesome, so get there early. You may also want to bring folding chairs.

The show is part the of the Martin Luther King Jr. Free Concert Series. Also slated to perform: Salt-N-Pepa, Naughty By Nature, and Slick Rick on August 2, and Aretha Franklin on August 9. Take that, Celebrate Brooklyn!
