Newsday tells which musicians are performing at Central Park's SummerStage:

The White Stripes are going to be on Conan for a "residency" - playing one new song on each of the four days they are residing there. Kudos to the White Stripes' label and publicity. They should be so lucky as to get to hang out with Conan for four days.
