About Hollywood Bowl

The Hollywood Bowl is an outdoor amphitheater that opened in 1922 and seats about 17,500. It is the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and its stage has hosted acts from Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong to The Beatles. The current shell, which debuted in 2004, keeps the look of concentric arches. Outside of concerts you can visit the free Hollywood Bowl Museum or follow the self-guided Bowl Walk.
