PALMDALE – The City of Palmdale has added the popular all girls group Fifth Harmony to the summer concert series on July 19, replacing Zendaya, who has cancelled her summer concert dates due to a scheduling conflict.
Tickets for Fifth Harmony are on sale at www.cityofpalmdale.org/TheAmp. In addition, previously purchased Zendaya tickets will be honored at the Fifth Harmony concert. Ticket holders who purchased Zendaya tickets online will be contacted by email.
Fifth Harmony formed during the second season of The X Factor. With their show-stopping vocals, undeniable charisma, and genuine sisterly bond, the “fearsome fivesome” (as they became known), endeared themselves to viewers across the country.
“I can feel a wave beginning behind this group, said The X Factor creator and judge Simon Cowell. “The chemistry between the Fifth Harmony girls both on and offstage is fantastic. They’re fun to be around and most importantly, they are all incredibly talented.”
In the short time since, they have won numerous awards including Radio Disney Music Award for 2014 Breakout Artist of the Year, Shorty Awards for Best Band in Social Media, and Billboard’s Girl Group Week Most Promising New Girl Group. They were handpicked to be part of Disney’s “Next Big Thing” campaign, MTV and Pop Tarts “Crazy Good VMA Concert,” and won the fan-voted Vevo’s Lift Artist Award.
Fifth Harmony’s debut EP Better Together, released October 22, 2013, skyrocketed to #2 on iTunes and now officially lands the group their first Top Ten Album, which debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. Featuring five brand new songs and their smash hit “Miss Movin’ On,” it’s a diverse, dynamic, and delightful introduction to America’s only teen pop female vocal groups. The girls just announced that their first single off their EP is “Don’t Want to Dance Alone,” an upbeat party tune that will make everyone want to get onto the dance floor.
Fifth Harmony released four other EP editions in 2014: Their Spanish EP, Junto and Juntos Acoustic (November 11), Better Together Acoustic (November 19) and Better Together Remixes (November 25).
The group’s members are Ally Brooke Hernandez, Normani Hamilton, Dinah Jane Hansen, Camila Cabello, and Lauren Jauregui. Cumulatively, they have 70 million YouTube views, 625,000-plus Facebook “likes,” and over one million Twitter followers.
Other headliners in Palmdale’s summer concert series include country star Phil Vassar on Saturday, July 12, R&B legends The Whispers on July 26, and Banda Machos on August 2.
General admission tickets for all four concerts can be purchased online at www.cityofpalmdale.org/TheAmp for $10. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for Phil Vassar and Banda Machos at $20, which includes express entry and seating at the front of the stage, ensuring that VIP ticket holders can arrive just before the concert and still get one of the best seats in the house. VIP seating is theater style (first-come, first-served).
Gates open at 6 pm and the concerts begin at 8 pm rain or shine. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Carry-in food, beverages, coolers, alcohol and pets are not permitted. Food, beer and wine will be available for purchase.

That doesn’t matter the whole very beautiful and smart zendaya is good girl that started from oakland, I believe and that area known around as the bay probably looked at the antelope valley, I see you guys dude here is our lady to entertain you tonight but it was cancelled so
Richard Holmes says
If Palmdale could’ve pulled off a zendaya like that’s big that’s like Miley Cyrus big. But zendya don’t want to perform there because the lpac is lil better comfort wise but nobody have any money but if had money would buy sum roses n try and go out with her
Emily Partida says
anyone wanting to give up or sell their VIP ticket for fifth harmony please comment back!
Amands says
I think the reason why it’s canceled is her upcoming movie of Aaliyah the R&B singer that passed away in 1995. It was all over the news about Zendaya playin the roll of Aaliyah coming on Lifetime or VH1. That must be the conflict y’all.
Madison Beaver says
I could care less about Zendaya honestly I am in love with Fifth Harmony…this is perfect and conveinent! Way to spend an awesome time with all my friends considering I live right there
jackie says
who?
Amber says
I was planning on taking the day off of work to take my little sister. Both of us are fans of HER. What scheduling conflict was so important to cancel? I payed for her, not a group that isn’t even mainstream.
John says
Hi Amber: She landed a movie role and will be filming for several weeks. She canceled several concert dates in addition to Palmdale.
Jack says
This isn’t right at all. . . It makes it seem like Zendaya’s people/ label or whatever pulled the old ” switch a roo ” on us and now I have a couple of sad little girls. We paid money to see ZENDAYA – the SHAKE IT UP star – not 5 substitutes that Disney/ Simon Cowell is trying to force feed us. If Zendaya really got another better gig, good for her, but they should have really made some sort of an attempt to re-schedule the show- not just do like they did. My daughters are devestated because this was their birthday gift for their July 21st birthday. Zendaya is losing fans for this. Two final words for whoever is responsable. REFUND and BOOOOOOO!!!!!
Roberto says
I had purchase VIP tickets to the Zendaya concert, but when I saw that Zendaya had canceled her show I could have care less because Fifth Harmony are way more famous then Zendaya and are truly better signers. The City of Palmdale is very lucky to have booked someone who is more famous then any ofter artist that Palmdale has ever had before. I believe, after the show, Palmdale will realize how big of a success it was to have booked Fifth Harmony. I can not wait for the show!
ya says
good attitude to have! besides we paid no more than twenty bucks anyway! that’s a deal!
Liz says
I actually gave them to my daughter for her birthday and had to tell her the concert was cancelled. she was pretty bummed.
Jesus says
Whoever had a VIP ticket to Zendaya’s concert and does no longer want it I will be more than happy to buy it off of you. If you want your money back. I can meet you there two hours before the show and get it off of you. :) My daughter loves fifth harmony and will be super excited to get VIP ticket but they are now sold out. :(
Shaana says
I was so bummed when I heard zendaya cancelled… I hadn’t even gave the tickets to my daughter yet for her birthday which was earlier today or yesterday now… I looked through my email and saw the cancelled concert… I’m not familiar with this group… Only in Palmdale…
Tkave says
What does “Palmdale” have to do with Zendaya cancelling her concert dates? Seems like you should be saying, “only Disney stars…”
Diamond says
It doesn’t matter if Zendaya canceled her show stop talking bad about her maybe she was sick stuff like that happens and for the record zendaya been famous way before fifth harmony so maybe zendaya was sick with the flu plus a lot of Ppl now a days are getting sick
