Living legends

America's original good-time band returns to close out your Fourth of July the right way. With timeless anthems like "Surfin' USA" and "Fun, Fun, Fun," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers bring Thomas Wilkins and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra along for a night of fireworks, nostalgia, and pure American summer.

One of the biggest rock bands on the planet shares the stage with the LA Phil and Youth Orchestra Los Angeles for a once-in-a-lifetime night. Part of a series of concerts honoring departing maestro Gustavo Dudamel, this is a rare collision of rock royalty and orchestral power you won't find anywhere else.

Two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts. One legendary stage. ZZ Top has been delivering sharp riffs and sharp suits for over 50 years, and Cheap Trick is right there with them in the pantheon of arena rock greats. This double bill is exactly as good as it sounds.

Grammy Legend Award winners Smokey Robinson and Gladys Knight bring their combined catalogs together for one extraordinary night. From "I Second That Emotion" to "Midnight Train to Georgia," this is a masterclass in American soul from two of the genre's all-time greats.

As one of the greatest voices in the history of recorded music, Al Green blends soul, gospel, and R&B. He has earned eight Grammy Awards and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and he still sounds absolutely incredible live.

Buddy Guy is a living blueprint for modern rock and blues. Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix both said so. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer celebrates his 90th year on stage, and if his recent performances are any indication, he'll outplay artists half his age.

Few nights at the Bowl will have the whole crowd singing along from the first note. Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors team up for a triple bill that's equal parts nostalgia trip and genuinely great live music.
