Hey, Los Angeles, a trailblazer is coming to town. An L.A. native and the child of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Camille Reign Smith, also known mononymously as Willow, is coming to The Ford with the Color of Noize Orchestra conducted by Derrick Hodge to reimagine hits like “Whip My Hair,” “Wait a Minute!,” “Meet Me At Our Spot,” and more. This one-night-only event on Friday, October 25, 2024, at 8pm WILL sell out. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28, at 10am and can be purchased online at TheFord.com, in person at the Hollywood Bowl Box Office, or by phone at 323 850 2000.

Willow knows how to translate her vision to fit any mood. The 23-year-old star has shown her skills in neo-soul, psychedelic folk, and pop-punk, while her 2022 album found her collaborating with Yves Tumor on experimental, Deftones-influenced hard rock. On her new album, empathogen, she comes back down to Earth, spinning up a meditative mix of jazz, classical, and indigenous tribal music. It’s complex, mysterious music driven by ancestral energy and committed to searching for happiness and beauty in an increasingly complex world. She shape-shifts once again at The Ford in the same week as her birthday, October 31, when she turns 24.
