(
The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes Tank and the Bangas back to the Orpheum Theater for their third full collaboration, joined by Dawn Richard. Since their last appearance on this stage, the genre-defying band has ascended to new heights, taking home the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album for The Heart, The Mind, The Soul. They return not just as fan favorites, but as decorated artists at the pinnacle of their craft.
Fronted by the singular Tarriona "Tank" Ball, the band's blend of soul, funk, hip-hop, and spoken word has always defied easy categorization. Paired with the full symphonic force of the LPO and the unmistakable voice of Dawn Richard, their music takes on new depth, drama, and scale. Expect a night that moves between intimate and explosive.
