CENTRAL PARK CONCERT BOOKS SOME BIG NAMES

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has made a portion of the Central Park "mega-concert" lineup official: Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Jennifer Hudson will be performing at the event.

The show remains tentatively scheduled for 8/21 as part of the city's Homecoming Week; hizzoner had no update on a potential change. Clive Davis has led the talent-wrangling.

"This is going to be one of the greatest Central Park concerts in history," de Blasio said. "This is something for the ages."
