There are free summer concerts in Central Park all over the park -- the Naumberg Bandshell hosts concerts all the time, almost too many to list!
The super big concerts are held on the Great Lawn which is located about mid-park. The Central Park Conservancy cares for Central Park and publishes the list of concert events. For more information, visit the Central Park Conservancy's website at http://www.centralparknyc.org/
SummerStage is the outdoor concert venue that hosts many free concerts throughout the summer months. Many of these events are free and take place during the week as well as on the weekends. For their annual schedule, see the SummerStage Official website: http://www.summerstage.org/
Tickets are available in advance at all TicketMaster locations and at the Fillmore East at Irving Plaza downtown. The SummerStage in Central Park is home to many dance, spoken word and music events all summer. Many events are free, while others require advance tickets. Central Park SummerStage is an outdoor performance stage. It is located at Rumsey Playfield on East 72nd Street off Fifth Avenue. The closest subway is the 6 train to 68th Street. And yes, it is one of the many "coolest" places in the park!
