Motown Delight: Live with Smokey & Gladys

A Summer Night of Motown Delight with Smokey Robinson & Gladys Knight at the Hollywood Bowl

Come along for a memorable evening under the stars as you experience the timeless magic of Motown with two of its most iconic voices: Gladys Knight and Smokey Robinson. This special night at the Hollywood Bowl invites you to relax, reminisce, and reconnect with the music that defined a generation. From the moment the lights dim, you’ll be transported back to the golden era of Motown, where soulful melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and iconic performances created the soundtrack of so many cherished memories.

Gladys Knight, with her rich, expressive voice, has captivated audiences for more than six decades with beloved classics like “Midnight Train to Georgia,” while Smokey Robinson’s smooth vocals and legendary songwriting gave the world enduring favorites such as “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me.” Together, these two musical legends bring warmth, elegance, and authenticity to the stage, delivering the songs you know by heart with the same passion and artistry that made them famous.

Prior to the performance, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy a relaxed dinner at your leisure at the nearby Ovation Hollywood shopping complex. Then, settle in under the open sky at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in your reserved Category F seats for a night filled with music, nostalgia, and connection.

Activity Level: High

This tour includes a moderate amount of walking, beginning with Ovation Hollywood, where guests will enjoy dinner on their own. While the area is lively and often bustling, the pace of walking is entirely your own. Guests should, however, be prepared to navigate through crowds.

At the Hollywood Bowl, a more substantial walk is required to reach your seats from the coach drop-off and pickup points. This may involve navigating stairs and inclines. Handrails are not present near our seating and there are fairly shallow inclines. We recommend wearing comfortable footwear and being prepared for a moderate level of physical activity. Guests with mobility concerns should be aware that the distances, stairs, and inclines may present challenges.
