Billboard reports that The Simpsons are set to take over the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. Hank Azaria (the voice of Moe and Chief Wiggum) will host The Simpsons Take The Bowl, which runs September 12-14. It features appearances from Jon Lovitz, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Conan O'Brien, Beverly D'Angelo Vaud and the Villains, creator Matt Groening, Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart), Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa) and Kipp Lennon (the singing voice of Michael Jackson). Thomas Wilkins will conduct the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
Producer Al Jean said: "There will be a big tribute to Danny Elfman's theme, lots of Alf Clausen's scores, a medley of different opening credits. For me -- and I think for longtime fans -- this will be really meaningful."
O'Brien will perform the song he wrote, "The Monorail Song". Weird Al will expand one of the shows he wrote for the show (and is being included in a new line of Simpsons dolls). D'Angelo will perform the songs she sang in The Simpsons Movie. Lovitz will perform "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off." The event will also include unlreleased clips, but not of any actual celebrity musicians.
Jean explained: "We didn't want to say 'here's a clip of the Who -- but the Who's not here'. We didn't want to do anything that wasn't live and immediate for the audience."
The series returns with its 26th season on September 28. It will continue to include musicians in the series, including Pharrell Williams in a cameo. The Lonely Island have written music based on a true story that happened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The city found out that the town anthem was sold to several cities.
