Last month, we published an initial lineup for The Today Show‘s Summer Concert series; this afternoon, Good Morning America put on its boxing gloves and little satin shorts and entered the ring with their own announcement.

Otherwise, keep your jammy pants on, and here’s what will be beamed into your living rooms all summer long:

Will Billie Joe Armstrong tell Hoda and Kathie Lee to shut their pie holes? Will there be an epic backing-track fail, a la Mariah’s GMA debacle last year? Who knows? It’s live! Let’s watch a recent GMA performance from Ms. Clarkson in the meantime, to prepare for her return on July 31:
