Summer Concert Series in North Hollywood

 

 

 

 

As summer kicks off, various cities around the San Fernando Valley begin hosting their annual concert series at local parks.  This year, the Valley Cultural Center put together a special line up for the residents in and around the city of North Hollywood and hundreds of residents showed up to kick off the first of the concerts by paying tribute to the legendary Queen.

Queen Nation, for the first time, performed at the park located on Magnolia Blvd and Tujunga, in walking distance to the Metro Orange line.  The concert kicked off at 7 p.m. with an opening act, a woman born in Russia who has been performing around the world for years, Marina V.

Later, Queen Nation, rocked the park with a 90-minute concert playing iconic songs including Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You to close out the show.

The next concert will be Saturday June 23 with Billy Mitchell and his circle of friends performing at 7 p.m.  All concerts are free with donations made to the Valley Cultural Center.  For a complete list of concerts, visit the No Ho Summer Nights page.
