LOS ANGELES - Washingtoner -- Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles (Levitt LA) is thrilled to announce its 16th season of summer performances in MacArthur Park. Levitt LA's summer long coming of age party continues to reflect the cultural mosaic of Los Angeles with an outstanding lineup while enjoying an iconic LA outdoor setting in historic MacArthur Park.
The electrifying 2023 lineup features international greats as well as LA's own superstar talents performing a wide variety of genres including cumbia, rock, soul, ska, salsa, electronic dance music, jazz, Hip-Hop, folklorico music from Mexico, Central, South America, Asia, Africa and beyond. Levitt LA's concerts will once again transform MacArthur Park into a sonically-charged urban oasis featuring free live music under the stars.
Levitt LA is pleased to announce that concerts will be live-streamed and available after the season on YouTube, expanding the accessibility of free high-quality concerts for all.
"Levitt LA is honored to return to MacArthur Park for its 16th year of free all ages concerts. We are thankful to all the artists, partners, and people behind the scenes who make live music accessible for so many. This season is going to be a wonderful way to celebrate creativity and the diversity of our city and beyond. The act of gathering and having a positive presence at this historical public park in the heart of Los Angeles is what's needed as we continue to heal from the impact of the pandemic and more. From traditional to contemporary musical expressions, spanning 20+ genres, we welcome you all to join us on the lawn to celebrate, dance and continue the legacy of free concerts in building unity and promoting civic pride!" says Allegra Padilla Executive Director.
The 2023 season launches Saturday June 10 (7-10pm) with an amazing opening night co-presented by La Banda Elastica featuring Nortec-Bostich + Fussible, Nunca Jamas and La Banda Elastica DJ's. The incredible line up of Latin artists continues throughout the summer with such acclaimed artists as the incomparable Flor Amargo, Los Angeles favorites La Santa Cecilia as part of the Levitt National Tour, the hip hop/rock influenced cumbia of Amandititita, and a very special Boleros de Noche tribute to composer Agustín Lara by Julian Torres & Marco Antonio Godoy and wrapping up the season with songstress Beatriz Solis.
