Pollstar magazine's Best Major Outdoor Venue (three years in a row), the Hollywood Bowl is the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the United States.

The Bowl is a friendly sociable place where Southern Californians gather to picnic and enjoy outstanding music under the stars. Throughout the summer the LA Phil presents the best in jazz, classical, Broadway, and world music, featuring artists that range from Sarah Chang to Diana Krall, John Williams to Pet Shop Boys, and Nancy Wilson to Arcade Fire.

The Bowl is the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

You may bring your own food and drink (details below) or purchase on site; options range from a gourmet restaurant to concession stands, all managed by the Patina Group. You can even order dinner in advance to be served at your box.

Since the Hollywood Bowl is located in the Los Angeles hillside, there are some moderate to steep inclines throughout the area. Electric carts, elevators and escalators are available to assist in taking you to your seat at the Hollywood Bowl. Handicap accessible seating is available upon advanced request only.
