Nine-time GRAMMY® winner and 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sheryl Crow returns to the stretch of Sunset Boulevard where her career took shape. After moving to Los Angeles from Kennett, Missouri, she sang backup and duets for Michael Jackson on his Bad World Tour (1987–1989), then sharpened her songwriting in West Hollywood's intimate rooms, including the Roxy and the Viper Room. Her 1993 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, grew out of weekly L.A.-area jam sessions and produced "All I Wanna Do," which won Record of the Year.

Since then, Crow has sold more than 50 million albums, charted seven Top 10 albums, starred at the inaugural Lilith Fair in 1997, and collaborated with Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton and Bonnie Raitt. A new generation, from Phoebe Bridgers to Brandi Carlile, cites her influence, and the 2022 documentary Sheryl premiered at SXSW before airing on SHOWTIME. Live On Sunset is her first major show after the release of her 12th studio album, Pick You Up, on October 9, 2026.

For nearly two decades, Local Natives have been one of Los Angeles' defining indie rock bands. Their five albums, Gorilla Manor (2009), Hummingbird (2013), Sunlit Youth (2016), Violet Street (2019) and Time Will Wait For No One (2023), earned praise from Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound and The Guardian, along with countless sold-out shows and standout Coachella sets in 2010, 2013, and 2017.

The band's biggest moments have often happened at home. They launched Sunlit Youth with a free rooftop show in Silver Lake in 2016, and in 2021 they returned to the stage after more than a year off with a homecoming at the Greek Theatre. On television, they have played The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show With David Letterman, The Late Late Show With James Corden, Austin City Limits, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, including a performance with Sharon Van Etten. Their cover of Roxy Music's "More Than This" appeared in Apple TV+'s The Shrink Next Door. At Live On Sunset, Local Natives celebrate the 10th anniversary of Sunlit Youth.

Empress Of is the project of Honduran-American singer, songwriter and producer Lorely Rodriguez, who grew up in the Los Angeles area and studied at Berklee College of Music. Across Me (2015), Us (2018), I'm Your Empress Of (2020) and For Your Consideration (2024), she built a signature sound of bilingual, club-ready electro pop. She has collaborated with Lorde, Rina Sawayama, Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek and Blood Orange, played Coachella, Pitchfork, Outside Lands and Primavera Sound, and toured with Lizzo, Maggie Rogers and, in 2025, Lorde.

L.A. has always been home base. Empress Of has sold out West Hollywood's Roxy twice and held a 2024 residency at the El Rey Theatre. Her new album, Dream House, was written after the Altadena fires destroyed her family's home. It is her most personal record yet, about loss, resilience and the slow work of rebuilding, and it marks a homecoming of its own when she brings it to the Sunset Strip.

At just 20, guitarist, singer and songwriter Grace Bowers has already played the GRAMMYs with Chris Martin, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and toured the world. She first broke through on the strength of her virtuosic playing, and her breakout performance at West Hollywood's Troubadour in 2025 helped introduce her to Los Angeles audiences.

Now she is stepping out front as a vocalist. Her debut singer-songwriter EP, Grace, out November 5, 2026, was written largely in sessions with GRAMMY-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Turnstile, Poppy). It draws on the riot grrrl movement, '90s grunge and modern pop, echoing the Guns N' Roses, Ramones and Ventures songs she learned on as a nine-year-old. Highlights include the pop-punk "Holly Wouldn't," inspired by the film The Substance, the Joan Jett–style "Fleas," the grunge-tinged "Cigarettes For Breakfast," and the deeply personal "19." Bowers road-tested the songs live before recording them, and the result is a full-throttle rock show built for fans of punk and pop alike.

Doug Locke is a Houston-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, actor and producer whose music blends pop, alternative R&B and rock with a cinematic edge. Inspired by Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz and George Michael, he has drawn more than 1.8 million Spotify streams, a music video with 2.3 million-plus views, and coverage from Billboard, AFROPUNK, Out Magazine, American Songwriter and GLAAD. On screen, he has appeared in House M.D., Bones, Shameless and Jane the Virgin, and played a young Jimi Hendrix in the short film A Technicolor Dream.

West Hollywood is where Locke built his live career. He has headlined sold-out shows at the Viper Room, and his 2023 album Phoenix led to a sold-out headline night at the Troubadour, released as Doug Locke: Live at the Troubadour. In 2024 he launched Doug Locke's Rock 'n' Roll Cabaret, a recurring music and variety show that debuted at Sunset Strip staple Hotel Ziggy before moving to a residency at The West Hollywood EDITION.

JJLA puts artists center stage. Founded in West Hollywood in 2009, the Emmy Award–winning live event and entertainment agency was named to Event Marketer's 2026 It List of top 100 event agencies and has spent more than 15 years building concerts, festivals and fan experiences alongside artists, managers and labels.

West Hollywood is home turf. Since 2022, JJLA has partnered with the City of West Hollywood to produce WeHo Pride, a weekend of world-class programming across a street fair, music festival and a parade drawing hundreds of thousands to West Hollywood. At its heart is OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride, which JJLA founded in 2020 to give LGBTQ+ artists a bigger platform and has grown into a three-day festival at West Hollywood Park. JJLA also created the WeHo Pride Pass, connecting festivalgoers with local LGBTQ+ businesses. With Live On Sunset, JJLA brings that same artist-first energy to the Sunset Strip, turning one of the world's most storied music corridors into a free, open-air celebration for residents and visitors alike.
