The Joy Formidable at Hollywood Forever

HOLLYWOOD, CA – The Welsh alternative rock trio The Joy Formidable is set to bring their expansive, guitar-driven sound to the intimate and historic The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Known for their soaring melodies and the formidable stage presence of lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan, the band has built a reputation for delivering high-energy performances that bridge the gap between stadium-sized shoegaze and post-punk intimacy.

The Vibe: Immersive Alt-Rock Energy

A performance by The Joy Formidable at the Masonic Lodge offers a unique opportunity to see a band known for “bigness” in a setting that demands focus and connection.

• Sonic Contrast: The band’s signature “wall of sound”—defined by heavy, rhythmic drumming and shimmering guitar layers—will resonate powerfully within the high ceilings and gothic architecture of the Lodge.

• Intimate Engagement: This show is part of a special run that emphasizes storytelling and musical versatility. Before the full-band performance, the evening features rare solo sets, providing a deeper look into the individual artistry behind the trio’s collective sound.

• A Welsh Invitation: Expect a night that is both fierce and friendly. The band is celebrated not just for their technical skill, but for their warm, engaging rapport with the audience, making even their loudest moments feel like a shared secret.
