Sunday, June 19 marks the anniversary of Black Independence Day in America or Juneteenth. In recognition of this day, “JUNETEENTH: A Celebration of Freedom” will take place at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, June 19, featuring a diverse lineup of thoughtful, impactful and essential Black artists.
The bill 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 and The Re-Collective Orchestra (a 68-piece all-Black symphony orchestra).

Principal Hollywood Bowl Orchestra conductor Thomas Wilkins will be joined in his duties by Derrick Hodge, while Adam Blackstone and Academy Award-winning filmmaker and The Roots co-founder Questlove will serve as the evening’s musical directors.
