Here’s the list of who’s playing at the Prospect Park Bandshell as part of Celebrate Brooklyn this week:

TONIGHT! TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 7pm
SUFJAN STEVENS – Benefit Concert
Sold out, but you can always hang out nearby in the park and listen to whatever wafts out from the stage.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 7pm
THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS WITH ALLOY ORCHESTRA | MARIKA HUGHES
The Alloy Orchestra will perform its original live score to the newly restored version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. This version includes 25 additional minutes and is just four minutes shorter than the lost original that premiered in 1927; its reconstruction is among the most significant restoration projects in cinema history.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 7pm
RA RA RIOT | DELICATE STEVE | BUKE AND GASS
With bounding rhythms and infectious hooks, Ra Ra Riot’s high-speed chamber pop combines “Arcade Fire’s orchestral reveries with Vampire Weekend’s pop sensibility” (Rolling Stone).

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 8pm
AILEY II: REVELATIONS
In a special 50th anniversary celebration of the work’s premiere, Ailey II performs Alvin Ailey’s signature work, one of the great masterpieces of American dance.
