Rilo Kiley, the beloved Los Angeles indie-rock band fronted by Jenny Lewis, is set to make its Hollywood Forever Cemetery debut on Saturday, September 26 — the group’s final headline show of 2026, with L.A. indie legends Beachwood Sparks joining as support.
Following their wildly successful reunion tour, the band returns to where it all began for a career-spanning set brimming with heartbreak and joy, staged at one of the city’s most atmospheric venues. The performance lands one day before the band takes the stage at Ohana Fest, capping a triumphant year of live dates. Critics have hailed the reunion run as an unforgettable experience, with SLUG Magazine noting the catharsis of a crowd collectively raising their arms in harmony with Lewis.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1998, Rilo Kiley became one of the defining bands of the early-2000s indie boom, pairing Lewis’ wry, emotionally piercing songwriting with the melodic craft of collaborator Blake Sennett. Across albums including Take Offs and Landings, The Execution of All Things and their breakthrough More Adventurous, the band built a devoted following, before 2007’s more pop-leaning Under the Blacklight closed out their initial run.
In the years since the band’s hiatus, Jenny Lewis built an acclaimed solo career, making Rilo Kiley’s reunion one of the more anticipated returns in recent indie memory. For Los Angeles audiences, the Hollywood Forever show offers a rare, hometown send-off for the year, a chance to hear a foundational catalog under the stars, with fellow L.A. cosmic-country favorites Beachwood Sparks opening the night.
