Grammy-winning rock musician Lenny Kravitz has been added to the summer lineup at Wolf Trap, marking his debut at the venue, Wolf Trap announced Thursday.

Kravitz will rock the Filene Center outdoor amphitheater Tuesday, Sept. 1. Tickets go on sale to Wolf Trap members (donors) beginning today (Thursday), and are on sale to the general public on Friday, July 10. Visit WolfTrap.org for more information.

Beginning in 1989 with his first album, Kravitz has made an indelible mark on pop culture with hits including “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” “American Woman,” “Again” and “Fly Away.” An international style icon and trendsetter, Kravitz has sold more than 40 million albums, won four consecutive Grammys for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and earned praise for his edgy music videos and elaborate stage performances.

Kravitz is currently on a sold-out European tour running through July. The announcement of new U.S. tour dates (see www.lennykravitz.com/tour) follows the recently released video for his latest single, “The Pleasure and the Pain” via RollingStone.com.

His 10th studio album, Strut, was released in September 2014 and looks back on the 1970s metropolis of funky after-hours grooves and soulful hooks. Named one of Rolling Stone’s Top Albums of 2014, the album includes such titles as “New York City,” “I Never Want to Let You Down” and “She’s a Beast.”

With the addition of Kravitz, Wolf Trap’s Summer 2015 season at the Filene Center features 73 acts and 40 Wolf Trap debuts, including ‘80s icons Culture Club (August 10), Grammy-winning country stars Little Big Town (August 15), acclaimed Cuban cultural export Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club (August 29), and multiplatinum pop star Kelly Clarkson with Pentatonix (Sept. 12-13).

Wolf Trap’s Summer 2015 season has been met with unprecedented positive response, with 15 performances already sold out, and many more in “Limited Availability” status. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance for best availability.
