The lineup includes a combination of Anderson’s collaborators and ardent fans of his stylized world, indelible characters, and unforgettable soundtracks.

Developed in partnership with Wes Anderson and his longtime music supervisor and music producer Randall Poster, Music from the Films of Wes Anderson features score and soundtrack selections, plus film clips spanning the director’s 30-year filmography, from Bottle Rocket to The Phoenician Scheme.

Music is a hallmark of Anderson’s storytelling, contributing to some of cinema’s most memorable moments. The concert celebrates those moments and more with a combination of the popular songs that have become legendary Anderson needle drops, orchestral music, and the scores of Alexandre Desplat and Mark Mothersbaugh.

“I can’t wait for people to see what we have in store for them at the Hollywood Bowl,” remarked Randall Poster. “We have a dream lineup of musicians paying tribute to the music from Wes’ films, plus a lot of friends helping us create special experiences for fans on and off the stage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of Wes’ brilliant work and all the musicians who have played a role in it.”
