After weeks of announcements about festival lineups spanning the globe, the latest news is a bit more local to us Angelenos, though just as exciting—The Ford and the LA Phil have announced the schedule for their 2021 summer concert series, which kicks off July 30 at the outdoor Hollywood Hills venue and runs through October 31. The focus on the program’s lineup is LA-based artists, which, in addition to the Philharmonic, opera performers, and dancers, includes the names Patti Smith, Moses Sumney, Father John Misty, The Marías, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Julianna Barwick, Lido Pimienta, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
“It is so thrilling to finally get to announce our first concerts and events at The Ford after this past year,” Ford Director Cynthia Fuentes shared in a press statement. “We wanted this season to be a celebration bringing together the communities that make Los Angeles unlike any other city. Our season features many artists with long histories at The Ford, emerging new artists, and musical legends. Taken together, we hope this season honors The Ford’s tradition of inclusion and community-centered programming while offering some new ideas, bringing even more people in to enjoy this historic venue.”
