After 20 years, Zach Braff is bringing the sounds of Garden State to the Golden State.
The 3x Golden Globe nominee announced a 20th anniversary soundtrack concert, which will happen March 29, 2025 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, benefitting homeless shelter The Midnight Mission. Tickets are now available on Ticketmaster.
“It’s been 20 years since my film Garden State came out, and I never could have imagined that the film and the soundtrack would still be resonating with people two decades later,” he said in a video announcement. “So, we had an idea; what if we got together the brilliant musicians from the Garden State soundtrack, live onstage for the first time ever, to raise money for a great cause? Well, it’s happening!
“I’m so excited to announced the Garden State soundtrack 20th anniversary concert, benefitting The Midnight Mission, live, for one night only on March 29th, 2025, here at LA’s legendary Greek Theatre,” added Braff.
