Performing with orchestra for the first time, Anderson makes his Hollywood Bowl debut alongside his band The Free Nationals, performing his critically acclaimed album, Malibu, and various work such as new work with NxWorries (duo with Kncwledge), Silk Sonic, and DJ Pee .

James Kennedy and DJ Hunny Bee will also join the setlist for the desert festival.
