On 8 August 2026, a star-studded tribute concert titled "Yoko Only: A Night Celebrating the Music of Yoko Ono" took place outside the Broad museum in Los Angeles, marking the 93-year-old artist's musical legacy even though she was not present. The event, held alongside the museum's exhibition "Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind," featured indie band Yo La Tengo as the house band, expanded to a five-piece with Wilco's Nels Cline and Cibo Matto's Yuka Honda, who also curated the night's performers and songs.

The 19-song set spanned Ono's varied career, from the avant-garde 1970 track "AOS" with the Ornette Coleman Quartet to her 1981 disco hit "Walking on Thin Ice" and the raw, personal "No, No, No", written after John Lennon's murder. Performers included Tuneyards' Merrill Garbus, Deerhoof's Satomi Matsuzaki, Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna and Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker, who paid tribute to Ono's influence on the riot grrrl generation. The article, though cut short, underscores Ono's enduring but often underappreciated musical legacy beyond her association with the Beatles and Lennon.
