The Doja Cat blitz will light up LACMA’s Art+Film gala.
The chart-topping performer — fresh from dropping her latest album Vie, announcing a world tour and booking a musical guest gig on Saturday Night Live — will grace the stage as the gala’s musical guest at the museum on Nov. 1. As previously announced, the night’s honorees will be filmmaker Ryan Coogler and artist Mary Corse. The always fashionable affair, thanks to presenting sponsor Gucci, will be chaired once again by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio.
“The Art+Film gala has hosted an incredible range of musical talent over the past 14 years,” Chow said in a statement. ”Doja Cat is a boundary-breaking creative force who will bring her incomparable energy to the evening.” She follows in the footsteps of last year’s performer Charli XCX who hit the stage and brought friend and tour mate Troye Sivan along for the ride.
The Art+Film gala will take place against the backdrop of the museum’s nearly completed David Geffen Galleries. Designed by architect Peter Zumthor, the crown jewel is expected to open in April 2026. Proceeds from Art+Film are funneled into LACMA’s efforts to make film more central to its curatorial programming as well as the general mission of the institution.
Doja revealed a long list of 2026 tour dates for Tour Ma Vie on Monday in support of her fourth album, Vie, which follows earlier efforts Scarlet 2, Scarlet, Planet Her and Hot Pink. She’s got dates in Latin America, Europe and North America, kicking off in Sao Paulo, Brazil in February and continuing through New York on Dec. 1, 2026.
