"With origins dating to 1921, the Bowl is a uniquely atmospheric concert venue that hosts the LA Philharmonic (summer series under Gustavo Dudamel) alongside pop and legacy acts; depending on the night the crowd ranges from classical patrons to pop superfans, and the venue is prized for its acoustics and iconic outdoor setting." - Maxwell Williams
"Here’s a solid dinner and a show strategy when attending a Hollywood Bowl show. First, ride-share to chef Jonathan Harris’s restaurant for a 5 p.m. reservation. Immediately order Linden’s cocktails and bread service with schmaltz cream cheese. Then, dive into the prawns and polenta or the smoked jerk duck. Finish the meal no later than 6:15 p.m. and catch a ride directly to the 103-year-old venue." - Mona Holmes
"A historic outdoor amphitheater dating back to 1922, famous for its distinctive round stage and longstanding role as a site for legendary performers from Ella Fitzgerald to the Beatles and Björk. Home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and featuring a multi-level museum chronicling its past, the venue is a quintessential Los Angeles music experience." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"It’s amazing that some people still don’t know that LA’s best music venue (by a mile) is BYOB. But you do now. It’s wine and beer only, but if you’re trying to sneak tequila into an LA Philharmonic show, you clearly don’t need a BYOB guide to tell you what to do. Pack a picnic basket full of your favorite wine and snacks, and go enjoy one of the best nights you can have in this city." - brant cox
"This weekend also marks the official return of The Hollywood Bowl. Their July 4th Fireworks Spectacular runs July 3rd and 4th, and will feature music from Kool & The Gang and arguably the best firework show in town accompanied by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Tickets are available here." - brant cox
