Taking a cue from her 2024 London show emajendat, acclaimed visual artist Lauren Halsey turns the Bowl into a vibrant, immersive world—complete with a technicolor stage set designed exclusively for the Bowl and headliners Erykah Badu and The Alchemist.

The legendary R&B singer and the hip-hop producer roll into the Bowl with anticipation high for their collaborative album Before the World Blows. When Billboard saw the duo together last year, they said, “The Alchemist’s dusty, vibey production is a perfect fit for Badu’s soulful, effortless cool.” The Dallas Observer called them “two folks who are bold risk takers with crazy tenure doing it for the love of music.”

Plus, Anderson .Paak spins a set as DJ Pee .Wee, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea gets in on the action, and visual artist Charles Gaines and his Collective join up with LA jazz group Black Nile and Devin Daniels.

Lauren Halsey’s maximalist, multicolored sculptures and architectural works are rooted in the imagination and visual language of South Central Los Angeles. Her work appears in the collections of MOCA, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum, and she’s shown large-scale work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Venice Biennale.

One night. One massive, immersive experience. This is unlike anything you’ve ever seen at the Bowl.
