Hollywood Bowl
An iconic shell-shaped open-air amphitheater in the Hollywood hills. Listen to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and pop concerts on summer nights.
Opened in 1922, the venue can hold about 17,500 people, and its concentric arched stage is a Los Angeles landmark. During the summer season, the Los Angeles Philharmonic is in residence. The venue also hosts live film scores, pop concerts, and jazz performances. Audiences are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy it at their seats. On non-performance days, the grounds and a small museum are free to explore during the day. Traffic is heavy on concert nights, so the official Park & Ride shuttle bus is recommended. The valley cools off considerably at night, so bring a jacket.
Opening hours
Performance season approx. May–Sep evenings; visits during the day on non-performance days
