In 2025, Illuminate and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department will launch the 5th season of free music at the Golden Gate Bandshell, featuring over 125 concerts starting with a focus on women-fronted bands. Spanning from March to November, with shows on specific weekdays and weekends, this series, known as Illuminate LIVE, highlights the bandshell's rich history as a cultural hub. Since its renovation in 2020, the venue has hosted diverse performances, drawing nearly 1 million attendees and celebrating its 125th anniversary alongside a tribute to Paul McCartney during the opening concert.
The Bandshell, renovated by Illuminate in 2020, continues to be the center of independent music in one of America's premier parks, with over 23 million annual visits.
The 2025 season will run through mid-November, featuring shows most Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and select Saturdays.
The Opening Concert will also feature a tribute to Paul McCartney, a nod to the new exhibit "Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm."
Illuminate and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department will present more than 125 free concerts at the historic Golden Gate Bandshell, starting with women-fronted bands on March 1.
