The 1241-seat outdoor Ford Amphitheatre is set against a backdrop of cypresses and chaparral in the Hollywood Hills. It is relatively intimate: no patron is more than 96 feet away from the stage. Music, dance, film, theatre and family events are presented during the summer months. The Ford Amphitheatre Season is a program of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
With a penchant for experimentation, artistic excellence, and controversy, Shin Hae Chul has often been compared to John Lennon. His progressive stance on social and political issues, including the legalization of marijuana, government control of the school system, and North Korea, has made the "Prince of Darkness" a liberal icon in South Korea, a radical voice representing a significant portion of the population. N.EX.T. (New Experimental Team) is widely acknowledged as Korea's greatest and most exciting live rock band, known for the ability to switch through a multitude of genres.
Out of respect for the recent death of former South Korean president Roh Moo Hyun, who had a close relationship with Shin Hae Chul, N.EX.T. canceled all of its shows in Korea. The only chance to see N.EX.T. this summer is on July 4 in Hollywood at the Ford Amphitheatre. Witness one of Korea's most legendary artists live, and Korea's most accomplished rock band, as Shin Hae Chul and N.EX.T. make Los Angeles the first stop on their Awakening World Tour. This show is not just for the Korean community but for anyone who appreciates world music and wants to enjoy the rare treat of one of the best international rock bands that has never played in America.
