“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is finally resurrecting its outdoor concert stage, starting on Wednesday, April 17, with musical guest Chris Stapleton. The singer-songwriter will appear on the show to relaunch the space and perform his song ““It Takes A Woman.”
Up until the pandemic, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” outdoor stage, located in the parking lot behind the show’s Hollywood studio, was a staple for the late-night talker. But it hasn’t been in use since February 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic. And then last year, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” like all of the talk shows, went dark during the Hollywood strikes.
Stapleton comes to “Jimmy Kimmel Live” fresh off his performance on this past weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” where he performed “White Horse” and “Mountains of My Mind.” Stapleton will also have an interview segment on the show, along with fellow guest Rob McElhenney.
Beyond Stapleton, upcoming artists slated for the outdoor stage include Imagine Dragons, Cage the Elephant and Incubus. Tequila Don Julio is sponsoring the concert series.
This stage, which can hold more than 1,000 fans, has included acts over the years including Prince, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Green Day, Cardi B, Coldplay, No Doubt, Garth Brooks, Usher, Dua Lipa, Blink-182, Snoop Dogg and more.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live” broadcasts from the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard; Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig are executive producers. The show, which airs at 11:35 p.m. ET weeknights on ABC (and streaming next day on Hulu), comes from 12:05 AM Productions, LLC, Kimmelot and ABC Signature.
