About the 2023 Series
Illuminate Live! is a yearlong series of free live music events in the Bandshell in Golden Gate Park, hosted by Illuminate.
The series kicks off in March will bring 100+ free concerts to the GGP Music Concourse in 2023. The lineup of performers returning to the stage is diverse and local as it was in its first two seasons—the 2023 concerts will feature R&B, soul, jazz, funk, big band musicians, string ensembles, indie and psychedelic rock bands, and many diverse singer-songwriters. In addition, the series will include reggae, salsa, and some EDM and electronic music.
All events will take place at the refurbished Golden Gate Bandshell, which Illuminate fully renovated in 2020. The accessible, expanded stage is complemented by a new Meyer Sound system and state-of-the art lighting. The Bandshell now offers a premier experience for performers and fans.
This live performance series is a partnership of Illuminate and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
