Microsoft will be holding three free concerts this summer to “give back to our cultural core consumer.” The concert series is known as the “Live at the BBQ” series and will feature artists such as: Common, David Banner, UGK, Mos Def, Bilal, Clipse, Collie Budz, E-40, Cham, Large Professor, and many more. The three concerts will be held at:

Los Angeles – July 12th

Chicago – July 22nd

New York – August 4th

You can find out more information by going to the Zune website here or registering for the events here.

Here’s a quote from the “Live at the BBQ” registration page:

For us it’s about connecting with that core and giving them the opportunity to participate in the Zune mantra which is to support Art, Music and Film in the digital space with technology and innovation. So in a way this is a reward to those who have come to support the digital platform. It’s also a thank you to those individuals in the city who have come to support the local and national Art, Music and Film community. We’ll do that by bringing music back to the community parks. It’s a nod to time when this music was about community; community support and community interaction. We want to recreate that energy with the ultimate park jam experience.
