Performances by Local Natives, Serpentwithfeet, Lucinda Williams, Mac DeMarco, Os Mutantes, José James, Darren Criss and Thee Sacred Souls are coming to The Ford — part of a 15-week summer season of music, film, theater, spoken word, comedy and dance.

The season kicks off July 14 at the 1,200-capacity amphitheater in the Cahuenga Pass with DeMarco’s show and runs through Oct. 28.

The Local Natives’ shows in August celebrates the 10-year anniversary of their sophomore album, “Hummingbird,” with a performance of it in full. Kyiv avant-garde quartet DakhaBrakha follows that same week. Singer-songwriter Ryan Beatty, Os Mutantes and Icelandic artist Laufey (performing with the L.A. Philharmonic) follow in September. The two-night Los Angeles Folk Festival, featuring Waxahatchee, the Milk Carton Kids, Willie Watson and more, is slated for October.
