What day will the summer solstice and full moon coincide? As far as I know the next time will be in 2016. I would like to know what day.

The Summer Solstice in 2016 will occur at 22:34 UT on the 20th June, and the full moon will occur at 11:02 UT on that day (but since they are 12 hours apart that won't be on the same day everywhere).
