Gay Freedom Band of Los Angeles Tickets

The Gay Freedom Band of Los Angeles (GFBLA) is one of the oldest LGBTQ+ concert bands in the United States, with a storied history dating back to 1978. Originally founded as the Great American Yankee Freedom Band of Los Angeles, the ensemble has evolved through several names—including the Hollywood Wind Ensemble—before adopting its current identity in 2013. A cornerstone of LA’s vibrant LGBTQ+ arts scene, GFBLA is a proud member of the Pride Bands Alliance since its founding and has performed at major cultural moments, including a historic invitation to President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration in 1991. Headquartered at the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) Arts & Recreation Center since 2021, the band presents two concert seasons each year across a diverse slate of LA venues. Secure your seats to experience a band that blends concert band repertoire with marching, jazz, and color guard performances, all delivered with passion and community spirit.

From its 40th anniversary celebrations—marked by collaborations with groups like West Coast Singers—to ongoing performances at parks, schools, and cultural venues, GFBLA continues to expand its reach and impact. Upcoming 2025 tour dates include Spring Fling (Mar 16, Lafayette Park), Why We Pride (May 11, HOLA steps), Pride Dance (Jun 1, The Mayflower Club), and a Lafayette Park concert (Jun 24). For fans and newcomers alike, GFBLA offers a welcoming, high-energy live experience that reflects LA’s diverse, creative spirit.
