OK!
I am also in zone 5a.

I am going to ignore the last two years because a lot of lilies bloomed early. So I am going back in time and viewing pictures over several years to make my suggestions. I am also restricting this to lilies in commerce:

Late June, consistently, as early as June, picture 1, Ariadne on June 25 (source, The Lily Garden); asiatic

Brushstoke, June 25 (The Lily Garden); asiatic

Hiawatha, June 20, asiatic hybrid, B&D Lilies (colorfast in bright sunlight, by the way)

Red Alert, June 26 scented longiflorum asiatic, B&D Lilies, also colorfast in bright sunlight

Rosepoint Lace has always been available from The lily Garden, but, for the first time in many years, is not in their catalog. It has L. lankongense in its history, and I intend upon reordering it. This is it on June 24.

These are all wonderful, healthy lilies that I have grown for many years, and again, they all bloom in June.
