SF brings back free downtown concerts featuring Dirtybird and more

Zoom in: The first concert, slated for June 14 at Embarcadero Plaza, will mark the second annual Back 2 Baysics event and feature the city's homegrown electronic music label Dirtybird as host.

• The DJ line-up is yet to be announced.

The big picture: Last year's shows, which included Dirtybird: Back 2 Baysics at Embarcadero Plaza, Portugal. The Man at Civic Center Plaza and Don Louis and Sophia Scott in Union Square, drew tens of thousands of attendees.

• The concert in Embarcadero Plaza alone nearly tripled foot traffic in the area relative to a typical Sunday.
• The initiative, a three-year agreement secured by former Mayor London Breed, is aimed at revitalizing the downtown economy and supporting local businesses as well as San Francisco's arts and culture scene.
