It's no secret that KCRW boasts the most eclectic and cutting edge music in Los Angeles. This summer, the Santa Monica-based radio station will celebrate with a diverse roster of artists we all love.

On June 22 the station will celebrate a decade of collaborating with the L.A. Philharmonic Association by presenting a weekly concert series at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, featuring acts like Gnarls Barkley, Deerhoof, Feist, Thievery Corporation and many others. KCRW's premiere DJs will each host their own night, and you'll notice the lineups are an accurate reflection of their taste in music.
