Someone is proposing on top of the Empire State Building today, which is either deeply romantic or proof that we’ve lost the plot. Either way, love is in the air. Also humidity, but let’s stay positive.

For the rest of us not getting engaged 1,200 feet above Midtown, we’ve got free tickets. Zeds Dead is bringing the Journey Of A Lifetime Tour to Forest Hills Stadium, and we’re giving away a pair so you can see the EDM duo take over Queens. Enter to win.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• This December, masters of metal mayhem GWAR return to Palladium Times Square with monstrous costumes and gallons of fake blood. Mac Sabbath, Midnight, and X-Cops join the carnage. Enter to win tickets.*

• One member says DoNYC MORE helped them discover their favorite bands. Another says it helped them fall in love with their city. For five years, that's been the whole point. Celebrate with 12 months for $50.

• Desert Dwellers bring their desert-bass and tribal trance to Gramercy Theatre this September with Skysia, Savej, and Malakai. Grab tickets Friday.

• Josh Conway, co-founder and rhythmic backbone of The Marías, brings his debut solo Plum Tour to Webster Hall this September. Tickets drop tomorrow.

LOCALS ONLY

• Heat advisory + three-day weekend = remembering that NYC has free public pools. We rounded up the best ones, plus a few honorable mentions, so you don’t have to.

• Yu & Me Books and 7th Street Burger are doing the correct kind of summer math: buy a book, get a free cheeseburger. The collab is happening through July at the 250 Mulberry St location only.
