The autumn equinox may be just about a month away, but warm weather isn’t going anywhere just yet, and neither is your opportunity to catch a show at the Hollywood Bowl. The iconic Los Angeles venue is open during our prime weather months and because we are lucky enough to reside in a temperate climate, that means audiences can enjoy shows through the beginning of November.
The historic amphitheater offers a 2021 lineup agreeable to cinephiles, classical fans and contemporary music listeners alike. A slew of September performances will center the Los Angeles Philharmonic in performances led by conductor Gustavo Dudamel, Carlos Vives and composer John Williams. In addition to Williams’ celebration of film music with David Newman, the Bowl will feature a sing-a-long of “Sound of Music” this weekend and a live scoring of “Black Panther” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in September.
The latter half of the schedules is stacked with artist bills that range from St. Vincent to Andrea Bocelli. The Jonas Brothers make their Bowl return at the end of October, and a number of acts will finally fulfill their rescheduled tour dates, such as Hall & Oates and Alanis Morissette. After a three-date run from Dead & Company, Tame Impala— with support from Perfume Genius— will close out the season.
