Iron and Wine w/ Ken Pomeroy at The Ford

Iron and Wine is the stage name of singer-songwriter Sam Beam, and few acts do hushed, close-to-the-ear folk as well. On Saturday, October 17, 2026, he plays The Ford in the Hollywood hills, with Ken Pomeroy sharing the bill. If you are sorting through LA concerts for the back half of October, this is the quiet, candlelit-feeling pick.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 8:00 PM Where: The Ford, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. E, Los Angeles Tickets: Ticketmaster

What to expect

Ticketmaster files the show under alternative and alternative rock, but Iron and Wine's catalog leans toward acoustic guitar, close harmonies and slow-burning songs that reward a listening crowd. Beam's gentle baritone is the draw. This is a night for sitting back and paying attention rather than shouting over a mosh pit.

Ken Pomeroy is listed alongside the headliner, so plan to arrive early enough to catch the full evening. Set times are not published in the listing, so check the Ticketmaster page closer to the date for door and start details.

Why The Ford suits this show

The Ford is a hillside amphitheater tucked just off the 101, and its open-air setting fits a folk act well. The seating curves toward the stage, sightlines are good, and the surrounding canyon keeps the sound intimate. It is one of the better places for live music in Los Angeles when the weather cooperates, and October evenings are usually a good bet. Bring a light jacket, since the hills cool off quickly after sundown.

Getting there

The venue sits on Cahuenga Boulevard East, a few minutes from the Hollywood Bowl and the Hollywood and Highland corridor. Rideshare is the easiest way in, since the road is narrow and the evening crowd arrives all at once. If you drive, give yourself extra time for parking and the walk up. The Ford has shuttle and parking options that vary by event, so confirm the current setup on the venue's site before you go.

Price was not listed in the source data, so check Ticketmaster for current ticket tiers and fees. Seats at a venue this size tend to move fast for a headliner with a loyal following.
