House of Vans launched its impressive warehouse-turned-skatepark(-meets-concert venue) space near Fulton Market back in February; and ever since it has carried on the live-music momentum with a handful of interest-piquing free concerts (recently: Rise Against, Preoccupations). With summer approaching—and with it, peak music-calendar time—Vans has just announced a new free concert series, dubbed Vans House Parties. And it's pretty well curated.

Among the picks are reunited Chicago emo heroes Cap'n Jazz (July 29) Odd Future associates The Internet (June 29) and local anthemic punk lifers The Lawrence Arms (June 22).

June 9 - Denzel Curry, Nyck @ Knight
June 22 - The Lawrence Arms, Dillinger Four, Toys That Kill
June 29 - The Internet, Special Guest
July 13 - Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, Seun Kuti, Egypt 80
July 29 - Cap'n Jazz, Hop Along

According to Vans, the venue will also be decked out with artwork by LA-based artist Nathan Bell. Attendance is free, but you'll need to RSVP. You can follow the link here to see when each show's RSVP call opens.
