Honoring The Doors

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact on popular music, and on popular culture.

Doors drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger will join us, along with an amazing lineup of renowned musicians, for an unforgettable tribute to the inspiration and influence The Doors has brought to the last 50 years of popular music.
