I was having lunch with my friend Angel (the fabulous editor of the fabulous Television Without Pity) in Rockefeller Center yesterday, and it reminded me that the TODAY summer concert series would be kicking off soon.

The shows are a great chance to see A-list performers in-person (and free!), if you’re in New York City, and on the tube if you’re not, and, if you’ve ever spent many frustrating hours trying to snag great concert seats on Ticketmaster, that is a very good thing.

With that, the complete line-ups for the GMA and TODAY summer 2010 concerts:
