The Beastie Boys
They sang "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," but the Beastie Boys never performed there - until now.
The homegrown, white hip-hop legends this week announced they'll be performing in Brooklyn for the first time since forming more than 20 years ago.
The trio - Brooklyn-born Adam Yauch (above r., with Adam Horovitz, l., and Mike Diamond) -will make a splash at McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg on Aug. 9 as part of a tour in support of their new album, "The Mix-Up."
At $50 a pop, tickets for the show go on sale tomorrow. Fans of such classics as "Brass Monkey" and "Sabotage" get another chance to hear them at a headlining gig in the Central Park SummerStage series Aug. 8.
The former punk rockers broke onto the scene in a big way in 1986 with the album "License to Ill," which included the anthem "No Sleep Till Brooklyn."
