Doors 6:00pm/Show 7:00pm 

The Action Lab brings one of hip-hop’s most enduring civic voices to the Bandshell. The prolific discography of Common (2025 The Action Lab Harry Belafonte Fellow) spans the ‘90s to the present day. Between releasing albums and authoring books, he’s been awarded an Oscar, a Grammy, and an Emmy for his creative work, while working tirelessly as a social justice activist. Adi Oasis will open the night with her trademark soaring vocals, funky bass, and retro-futurist production. The evening will also feature special guest performances and the naming of two 2026 The Action Lab Harry Belafonte Fellows.  

This event is part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn!, New York City’s longest-running, free, outdoor performing arts festival. View the whole summer 2026 lineup here.
