Hollywood Bowl Orchestra • Thomas Wilkins, conductor
Dance the night away with the world’s greatest party band, The B-52s, and the
romantic pop swagger of The Psychedelic Furs. It’s an end-of-the-season bash not
to be missed, packed with your favorite hits: “Rock Lobster,” “Love Shack,” “Pretty
in Pink,” “The Ghost in You” and more – plus the Bowl’s spectacular fireworks!

ARTIST TO BE ANNOUNCED

GRACE JONES
FUTURE ISLANDS
Legendary rebel and pop siren Grace Jones returns to the Bowl with an unforgettable
stage show: a hypnotizing blend of new wave, world beats and disco that can only be
matched by her awesome performance power. Baltimore’s Future Islands craft dynamic
synth pop — their song “Seasons” was named Song of the Year by Pitchfork, NME,
MOJO and others — and deliver an extraordinarily ardent live show.
