The Hollywood Bowl has announced a staggering calendar for its 2017 that includes performances from Bryan Ferry, Blondie & Garbage, Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian and Spoon, the Moody Blues,  Steve Winwood and Mavis Staples and Blood Orange. And those are just the goodies for the pop and rock fans.

The Bowl’s season kicks off June 10-11 with the Playboy Jazz Festival and also includes multiple nights with Tony Bennett, John Williams, Pentatonix and Diana Krall.

The typically impressive jazz lineup includes the pairing of Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington; a  celebration of 100 Years of Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie; Jill Scott; Trombone Shorty; and a program saluting Quincy Jones: The A&M Years.

In addition, the musical “Mamma Mia!” will be staged; Harry Potter fans will have three nights of music; Seu Jorge will present his tribute to David Bowie; “Singin’ in the Rain” will get the live-score treatment; Café Tacvba will perform as part of the Getty collaboration Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA; and the L.A. Philharmonic offers its usual wide array of fare — including a night with Yo-Yo Ma performing Bach’s Six Cello Suites. Oh, and fireworks.
