As we mentioned in the Morning Roundup today, there are plenty of ways to define the start of summer. For music lovers in the D.C. area however, once Fort Reno starts, you know the lazy days of fire fly catching and swimming pool splashing are officially upon us. We told you last week about the opening lineup for this summer’s series on June 18, but we’re happy to tell you now that the full schedule is up for your planning pleasure.

Lots of DCist’s favorite bands on there — Deleted Scenes, The Hard Tomorrows, The Sentiment, Joe Lally, Greenland, Meredith Bragg and Benjy Ferree to name a few. We’re also looking forward to spending more time with The Evens, Edie Sedgwick, Beauty Pill and a whole lot of other amazing local bands under the stars this summer. Shows are every Monday and Thursday starting in June and running through August 16th. That’s 18 shows to make your summer nights even better. As always, the shows are free, but donations are welcome and encouraged so they can keep this wonderful tradition going.
