NEW YORK — This summer, NBC's TODAY is the morning music destination, celebrating 17 years of bringing together the hottest hit-makers. On Friday, May 18 fans will certainly scream “Yeah!” when Usher kicks off the 2012 Toyota Concert Series on TODAY. In his first-ever TODAY concert, the seven-time Grammy award winner will put the rock in Rockefeller Plaza.
The Toyota Concert Series on TODAY continues its tradition of showcasing the biggest, boldest names in music. This year’s line-up includes Justin Bieber and Chris Brown, two superstars who set record-breaking crowds in previous TODAY concerts. The 2012 series also features two show favorites, rock bands Maroon 5 and Train, as well as newcomers Hot Chelle Rae in their first morning show concert. Crowd-pleasers Pitbull and Flo Rida will join the line-up, and TODAY gets a little bit country with stars Kenny Chesney, The Band Perry and The Zac Brown Band.
