The Hollywood Bowl will hold a Juneteenth celebration on June 19 to commemorate 157 years since the first Black American Independence day. The lineup for the event includes Anthony Hamilton, Billy Porter, Debbie Allen Dance Academy, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jhené Aiko, Killer Mike, Lucky Daye, Mary Mary, Michelle Williams, Mickey Guyton, Questlove, Robert Glasper, The Roots, The Re-Collective Orchestra (a 68-piece, all-Black symphony orchestra), and more. 

"This is the most important event we’ve ever produced at Live Nation Urban," said Live Nation Urban President Shawn Gee. "It’s a moment to celebrate and reflect on Black independence and the Black experience. It’s also a moment to raise awareness and shine light on the miles we still need to travel to true equity. We hope to see you there.”
