Performing in Los Angeles, the singer encouraged US citizens to ‘get out and vote’ – and played rarely heard political songs such as Dog Eat Dog
Joni Mitchell has made her voice heard in the upcoming US election, responding: “Fuck Donald Trump!” to an audience member who yelled an insult about the Republican presidential candidate.Performing her first headline concert in Los Angeles in 24 years on Saturday, Mitchell, 80, said: “Everybody get out and vote. This is an important one. I wish I could vote – I’m Canadian. I’m one of those lousy immigrants.
At the self-styled “Joni Jam”, across two nights at the Hollywood Bowl, Mitchell performed with musicians including Brandi Carlile, Wendy & Lisa, Allison Russell, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Marcus Mumford, Annie Lennox – on Ladies of the Canyon – Jacob Collier and Jon Batiste. The concerts come two years after Mitchell’s surprise appearance at the 2022 Newport folk festival – her return to live performance after experiencing a brain aneurysm in 2015 that left her unable to speak or walk.
