Wake up to the sounds of your favorite artists this summer. “Good Morning America” has announced the blockbuster lineup for its annual summer concert series and it includes some female megastars.

Beyoncé will fire up the stage to perform songs from her upcoming fourth album on “GMA’s Summer Concert Series.” Her fellow femme fatales Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, and Jennifer Hudson will also bring their hits to Rumsey Playfield in New York’s Central Park over the next few months. Additionally, Taio Cruz, Florence + the Machine, Selena Gomez, all Top 11 “American Idol” contestants, and more have been added to the diverse roster.

But kicking things off is Lady Gaga, performing songs from the highly-anticipated Born This Way on May 27, four days after the album’s release. Tickets for her show will be distributed to the public for free in advance.

The rest of the concerts are also free but non-ticketed, and will take place live during “Good Morning America,” Fridays from 7 to 9 a.m. EST. Dates and additional acts will be revealed throughout the summer.

Meanwhile, NBC’s “Today” show has announced its own jam-packed lineup for their summer music extravaganza, which includes Rihanna, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, and Cee Lo Green.
