The indie pop band fun.will kick off the 2013 Toyota Concert Series on TODAY on May 24.

This summer, TODAY will once again put the rock in Rockefeller Plaza, bringing together the hottest hit-makers for its 18th annual summer concert series.

There?s no better way to officially kick off summer than with some fun -- the indie pop band fun., that is. On Friday, May 24, in their first-ever TODAY concert, the Grammy award winners will be turning ?Some Nights? into one great morning.

This year?s lineup also includes One Direction and Chris Brown, two veteran TODAY sensations who brought record-setting crowds in previous plaza performances. The 2013 series also features rock bands Maroon 5, Train and Fall Out Boy as well as singer-songwriters John Mayer, Michael Buble, Phillip Phillips and Ed Sheeran. In addition, boy bands New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men will join forces in one blow-out concert, and Lionel Richie will surely have the crowd "Dancing on the Ceiling." The concert series also brings bright country music stars to the morning show stage with The Band Perry, Hunter Hayes and Luke Bryan.
