Late-1970s New York No Wave was driven by women whose names rarely lead the histories, and this is the rare chance to hear several of them play in one place: Bush Tetras, Ikue Mori of DNA in a set with Julianna Barwick, and Adele Bertei leading a roaming guitar collective. It runs six hours across the Getty's courtyard and garden terraces, so it works as a drop-in as much as a sit-down concert, and it costs nothing beyond parking.
What to expect
Sets moving between the Courtyard Stage and the Garden Terrace from mid-afternoon to 9 p.m., loud guitar and electronics in an outdoor stone setting, and spoken pop-up segments between bands. Tickets carry a timed entry, and the Getty checks them at security before the tram up the hill.
Good to know
- Tickets are free but required, and the event ticket is also the Getty Center entry reservation.
- Parking at the Getty Center is charged; the ticket does not cover it.
- Tickets have a timed entry, so arrive close to the time on the ticket if not visiting the galleries first.
- Bring the ticket on a phone or printed, since it is checked at security before the tram.
- The hilltop gets cool and windy after dark in October, so bring a layer.
Going? Keep it.
