The Greek Theatre today announced a diverse 2014 lineup that includes the likes of Ringo Starr, Smokey Robinson, Joan Baez, Crosby Stills & Nash, New Order, Jurassic 5, Panic! At the Disco, the Neighbourhood and the Airborne Toxic Event – all part of a new subscription series that allows fans to bundle concerts and get early dibs on tickets.

The Greek’s “P.A.S.S.” (Premier Access Season Subscription) also offers fans preferential seating, discounts, special amenities and perquisites at other shows booked by promoters Nederlander. There is no membership fee.

Also part of the 45-concert series: Popular annual Greek events such as Los Lobos’ Cinco de Mayo Festival and the “Eek! At the Greek” Halloween-themed show; a passel of radio station-sponsored congregations of hitmakers; and, in May, “Atomic Bomb! Who is William Onyeabor?” – a salute to the Nigerian funkster featuring David Byrne, Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, LCD Soundsystem’s Pat Mahoney, Money Mark and others.

Today’s lineup announcement is not the full complement of shows this year at the Greek, only the shows applicable to P.A.S.S., so expect more concert announcements. Ticket sales for individual shows will begin going on sale after March 22.

After the jump, the schedule so far:
