TV On The Radio, Arctic Monkeys Set For Hollywood Bowl In September

TV on the Radio and Arctic Monkeys will headline the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 6 PM. Also performing are Panda Bear, Warpaint and Smith Westerns. Tickets are on sale now.

TV on the Radio released their fourth studio album, Nine Types of Light, in April 2011. The album was hailed by Rolling Stone as "pure heaven." The band's breakout record, Return to Cookie Mountain, received more unanimous acclaim in 2006 than any other album, topping the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Poll voted by roughly 800 critics. Dear Science, released in 2008, was named album of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly and MTV. Touring behind Dear Science saw the band sell out a year's worth of live shows across the globe. TV on the Radio made their Hollywood Bowl debut in 2006 sharing the bill with Massive Attack.

The September 25th concert will mark the Hollywood Bowl debut for co-headliners Arctic Monkeys. The Sheffield, UK foursome - Alex Turner, Jaime Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O'Malley - are set to release their fourth studio album, Suck it and See, on June 7th. The follow-up to 2009's Humbug, Suck it and See was recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles with longtime producer / collaborator James Ford. The album is described by the band as having the "feel-good sound of stealing some winter sun, some out of season Vitamin D." The band is currently in the midst of a U.S. tour culminating in a June 3rd performance at Los Angeles' Palladium which sold out in mere minutes.

Animal Collective's Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, will make his Hollywood Bowl debut sharing the stage with producer/musician Sonic Boom. Panda Bear's latest album, Tomboy, is currently topping the CMJ charts, and the Hollywood Bowl performance will be the only West coast performance in support of the album.

Warpaint, the critically acclaimed Los Angeles quartet, and Chicago's Smith Westerns also make their Hollywood Bowl debuts.
