Laurie Anderson live in Los Angeles

Experience Laurie Anderson live on September 24th

Laurie Anderson will perform at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on September 24, 2026. Anderson is a pioneering artist known for her experimental music, incorporating spoken word, electronic music, performance art, and visual media. Her work often explores themes of storytelling, technology, and the human condition, frequently utilizing vocal effects and innovative instrumentations like the violin and tape loops. She gained prominence in the early 1980s with the single "O Superman," achieving mainstream recognition alongside critical acclaim for her multimedia presentations.

The Orpheum Theatre originally opened in February 1926 as a lavish movie palace designed by George Ullrich and built by Vaudeville veteran B.F. Keith. Intended to showcase second-run motion pictures and vaudeville acts, it quickly became a significant venue for film premieres and live performances during Hollywood’s Golden Age. Notable events held there included early screenings of *The Jazz Singer* and numerous Academy Award ceremonies.

Following a period of decline and near demolition in the 1980s, the theatre underwent extensive restoration completed in 1994.
