The Hollywood Bowl is a tradition. it is a Los Angeles Treasure. if you've not spent a concert evening at the Hollywood Bowl please go it's a wonderful place beyond the music ?and the people are delightful, Friendly and courteous. And lastly the best kept secret is if you're quiet and you create no problems it's okay to bring in your bottle of wine and maybe have some Cabernet as you enjoy the music.
Fantastic venue, good acoustics, great views. Steep climb for the higher up seats
It was my first visit to this venue, parking looked horrible. I decided to take a shuttle from the Los Angeles Zoo s parking lot. The shuttle was helpful, although the people operating the shuttle service worried me because they had mentioned as we departed the bus . . . we would only have 25 minutes after the show ended to board the buses. If we didn t not make it to the buses in time, a bus would be dispatched at the end of the night to pick up anyone not able to board on time. I was a little Stressed, trying make sure I was able to herd through all the people and make it on time to the shuttle. (I was successful)
Concession Stand prices are High like anywhere else, $6.00 for a Hot Dog. I was told the Hollywood Bowl allows visitors to bring a picnic, if you can bring your own food, DO IT!!
Seating was meEHhh . . . it was a nice night, full Moon, Beautiful, but cold. Take a jacket and one of those zip up blankets. You could use it as a seat cushion or cover yourself with it, (I didn t take a jacket).
The Sound was very disappointing, sad really. I comment about the sound because with all the praise I heard on television, radio, read in articles, and people s comments about sound at THE BOWL . Local Movie Theater was much better than the hole . . . Oh sorry, The Bowl .
. . . in all, I did enjoy myself, the performance was the reason for my visit.
Great venue, parking is tough be sure to arrive early
Beautiful and the lyft ride was perfect. It was the easiest we've gotten there and back.a
I went to this venue for a Ziggy Marly reggae fest for Bob Marleys 70th birthday celebration. The view is amazing, I loved it. Parking can be a little tricky, so buy parking ahead of time or prepare to arrive a couple hours before the show. If you have an opportunity to see a concert here, you should definitely go!
Traffic and parking is the worst, but all is forgiven when you enjoy the performances.
The concert was awesome however don't ever get seats in the middle
Good for music, even better for running stairs workout. Saturdays 8:00am show up!
Love the Hollywood Bowl just a great place to chill and have your favorite musical artist right there in front of you, live with all the action.
This is a wonderful place to enjoy a concert, the view is fantastic you can even see the Hollywood sign. The sound is great,but it can get cold at night so make sure to bring a jacket with you.
Great venue to see anyone ... Sit back and enjoy the show!
Very nice venue for music, and the crowd is mature enough to make things nice.
Famous place with stacked parking! Yikes but if your not in a hurry to get home after then its the best place to park otherwise you can park in some local places but it will be at a 10-15 minute walk and remember that at the bowl you will be walking already up to the seating area and then walking back down and for some it is quite a hike. The tree lined venue is very nice and cool but where the seating is there are no trees so it can get hot. GREAT acoustics so you are in for a treat.
Good views from any seat. The ability to bring your own beer or wine along with your dinner makes got an ideal date.
Always a great place to see a show. Parking sucks but you deal with it.
This is the best place to enjoy concerts. Take the bus up and a picnic dinner and enjoy! Last night's concert was John Williams. Break out the light sabres Star Wars fans!
I love anything at the Hollywood Bowl! Bring a picnic to enjoy before or during the concert! But anticipate the traffic to get there or catch one of the many buses.
Amazing venue for performances. Sight of the HOLLYWOOD sign behind the stage is wonderful. Only negative thing I could say is that helicopters flew over the performance 5 times, which may not be a problem for loud concerts, but as this event was a lot of spoken-word, it proved to be difficult to hear.
What are the most beautiful and most fantastic concert Halls in the world. The acoustics are absolutely amazing and the setup was second to none. The concert I have the luck to attend was Pete Tong live with surprise guests like Moby The Chemical Brothers Daft Punk and many others with the music provided by one of the most fantastic orchestra's
Been there several times love the venue sound system is great
The show was AWESOME!!! There is not a bad seat at this venue.
No question about it, this place is speechless, came to see Andrea Bocelli, phenomenal!! But the traffic horrendous!! The personnel thats guiding traffic wasn't very helpful, they kept saying "sorry im not from here " "im not sure just keep going straight". Something needs to be done with traffic. They also said "im not sure whats going on at this point"....wow
Make more room for traffic flow...pls! 1hr on the off ramp on highland.....crazy.....i would post a vid of a SUV driving on the emergency side, but no vid space, all the way to the top, almost hitting this small car. That wouldn't budget to let it pass. And by the way we left 3hrs ahead.....!
What's not love about this venue.The history alone is amazing.
Awesome place!
If you have never been to this iconic summer concert venue...GO! Even the cheap seats are good!
It's always nice to be in this place and listen to the music
Historic international institution. Efficiently run. Marvelous shuttle bus system running to various satellite locations all the way down to OC. Bring a picnic and a cushion
Haven't been here since 90's Playboy Jazz Festival. Great place to enjoy music from all over the world.
This is a top notch venue with great acoustics. Parking is definitely a problem and one will have to park probably a mile away and walk or take a shuttle.
Best concert venue I've ever been to. You can even bring your own picnic!
The venue itself is lovely. The Kitchen 22 however, where we ordered our pre-show food is atrocious. I've never seen somewhere so disorganised. 40 minute wait for 2 burgers with fries and in the hurry to make it into the show with the remaining 4 minutes, I didn't realise that they hadn't included the 20oz beer and 2 bottles of water that I'd paid for, which is $20 worth of stuff. I then had to go to another refreshments counter to replace the water at even more cost, also missing the first 20 minutes of the show. Not impressed and I'll probably avoid coming back to the Hollywood Bowl in future. Absolutely shocking organisation skills.
Love this venue, great sound. Lots of walking but worth it
The place has good accoustics. The performance was excellent.
My 2nd favorite outdoor venue in the USA....after The Greek
I love going to concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. One of my favorite places in LA.
Amazing place Saw Depeche Mode perform.
Need to clear out the homeless
I missed my concert because of traffic!! My exit took an hour! Never going to this venue again!
Went to see "The New Kids On The Block". It's a very nice venue. But the seats in the Garden boxes should be metal folding chairs. The ones that are available are so uncomfortable
Saw Depeche Mode here 4 nights. Excellent venue and depending on the level of seating the view changes dramatically, mid way up the middle, of the bowl, lights screens were amazing. This was truly the only place where I have had this type of experience.
If you are in town during the bowl season, I highly recommend you purchase any ticket possible, pack a picnic and head out the door asap. This will be an evening yjou will not forget.
Nice venue with extravagant pricing and horrible parking
We always love our experiences at the Bowl. Super friendly staff, efficient operations and wonderful shows. Now if someone could do something about the rude guests....(joking)
Had an amazing time taking my wife to go see Alejandra Guzman vs Gloria Trevi concert. She loved it and so did I. Is the first time me being sober at a concert. Anything to make the love of your life happy and totally recommend this place to anyone.
One of the best places to watch a concert live.sound,lightning are excellent.also there are enough parking spaces.
Great concert. Couple bucket list items checked. Hollywood Bowl concert, and Itzahk Perlman performance. Unbeatable combination.
A million different places to eat with a broad spectrum of dishes to choose from. 5 star to hot dogs. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
The Venue for music is fantastic...but overall, getting in a out of the place is a mess. The venue gets completely packed and who wants to wait in line for 40 mins to get a bottle of water or any concessions? You'd miss the show you paid to come see! My friend was on crutches and it was the WORST place ever for people with mobility issues. This was my 1st time there and I have to say I probably won't be back.
Always a great venue, except parking. Spectacular fireworks, great 4th of July celebration
Its Definetly my go to venue for summer nightime relaxation.
This is the most spectacular venue to experience any one of the performing arts. The way the audience seating area is seamlessly carved out of the mountain is a testament to Frank Wright's involvement in the design of the Hollywood Bowl. Together with L.A.'s warm weather you're sure to have a great evening.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was very to enter and exit.
Cyndi Lauper, and Rod Stewart were awesome fun..! but the bowl does not have the sound that some other venues do, just sayin
Witnessed the spectacular Andrea Bocelli! The experience of a life time! A Bucket List Day!
Historic venue but has been properly maintained over the years. I cannot sing the praises enough of parking at the LA Zoo and taking the shuttle. Got out right away and was on the freeway home after the show less than 30 minutes after the show finished.
Love playboy jazz. The shuttle from Lakewood was great; use it every year.
Love it but unless you want to pay $8 for a bottle water take your own!
Great venue for live music. Long lines for beer and coffee, but we got to our seats in time for the show.
My favorite venue in LA. Can bring food and drinks and watch a good show. Be aware some events don't allow alcohol or glassware.
The Hollywood Bowl is a legendary outdoor amphitheater located in the heart of Los Angeles, California. Since its inception in 1922, it has been the go-to destination for live music enthusiasts from all over Southern California and beyond. The venue has played host to some of the biggest names in music history, including Billie Holiday, The Beatles, and Yo-Yo Ma.
One of the most iconic features of the Hollywood Bowl is its concentric-arched band shell. This unique design allows for unparalleled acoustics and an immersive concert experience that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else. Whether you're sitting up close or way up high in one of the venue's many terraced seating sections, you'll feel like you're right in the middle of all the action.
But it's not just about great sound at The Hollywood Bowl - there's also plenty to see and do before and after each show. The venue boasts a wide variety of food and drink options, from classic hot dogs and popcorn to gourmet cuisine from some of LA's top chefs. And if you're looking for something extra special, consider booking one of their VIP packages which include access to exclusive lounges with private bars and premium seating options.
Of course, none of this would be possible without an incredible lineup of performers year after year. From classical orchestras to rock bands to pop superstars, there truly is something for everyone at The Hollywood Bowl. And with multiple shows per week during peak season (typically May through September), there are plenty of opportunities to catch your favorite artists live on stage.
So whether you're a lifelong fan or just looking for a fun night out with friends or family, be sure to check out what's happening at The Hollywood Bowl this season - tickets are available now!
