Few venues in the United States are able to pull in the eclectic mix of talent that the Greek Theatre rounded up for its upcoming run of shows. Robert Plant, Little Big Town and Social Distortion will all stop by the notable Los Angeles venue in the coming months. The announcement comes on the heels of a dispute over who will run the venue after this season -- longtime owner/operator Nederlander or Live Nation.
There are currently 31 different acts scheduled for the Greek starting in May and ending in October. Interestingly enough, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience will perform May 23 ahead of Plant and his Sensational Space Shifters. Other classic rock outfits include The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton and Cheap Trick, Brian Wilson, and Jackson Browne.
On the pop side of the roster, Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker, Better Than Ezra and Eve 6 will all perform together on July 19 with Boy George and Culture Club scheduled for July 24. Check out the impressive lineup below.
In February, the L.A. City Council voted to oppose Live Nation's bid to operate the Greek once Nederlander's contract expires (the organization has run the venue since 1975), according to The Hollywood Reporter. Nederlander has partnered with AEG, so now it's up to the parks commission to decide who will run the venue.
