Your slate of free outdoors summertime concerts just got more crowded.

The Belle Brigade will kick off the 17th annual Sunset Concert Series at the Skirball Center on Thursday, July 25. The L.A. trio of siblings Ethan and Barbara Gruska and Keith Karman, working on a follow-up to their 2011 debut, will play the first of six free nights at the Skirball that are sandwiched in between two ticketed shows – Hunter Hunted and Harriet on Friday, July 12, and Jenny O., In the Valley Below and Body Parts on Friday, Aug. 30, as part of the recently announced “Into the Night: The Wild Side.”

The free shows start at 8 p.m., and museums galleries will be open late. After the jump, the Sunset Concert Series’ full schedule:
