MUNA’s journey has always been about bringing to light the complex, messy, ecstatic realities of life, and with their fourth album, "Dancing On The Wall," they’ve never been sharper, darker or more exhilarating. Emerging from the sparkly, confetti-strewn heights of their 2022 self-titled record, MUNA now channel the raw, anxious and sweat-soaked energy of living in a city (Los Angeles) of unrelenting heat, a corrupted world wrought by political tension, and the quieter and more personal pressures of millennial precarity and heartache in these uncertain times. The result is a record that feels both intimate and spectacular: a fast-paced, hard-edged dance pop world built with teeth, wit and emotional resonance – a soundtrack for hearts on fire amidst the tumult of modern life. MUNA were selected by Harry Styles as the first support act he took out on his debut solo tour, and they have since shared stages with Taylor Swift on the "Eras Tour," Lorde, boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers. From sold-out club shows to festival main stages, they’ve grown into pop artists who command both spectacle and intimacy with equal confidence. Please note: this is a Rady Shell rental event, presented by AEG Presents. The San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this concert. MUNA on YouTube / Instagram
