Structure, format and craft. We write for swimmers, skimmers and divers so you don’t get caught with an abandoned cart.
Welcome to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Frank Gehry’s unmistakable, undulating stainless-steel sails. One of the most acoustically advanced concert halls in the world. A secret hidden garden, complete with a rose fountain made up of thousands of smashed porcelain plates.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is both an enigma and an icon. A place where prodigies, greats and legends – from Bjork and Beck to Yo-Yo Ma – have performed. (And also John Legend.) It’s also a place where you can have a burger, or a three-course, fine-dining meal (or both – we won’t judge). Whether you’re up for exploring, making your concert-night plans, or just trying to figure out where to park, here’s the down-low on this Downtown LA gem.
Who’s played here? Almost everyone. In no particular order: William Grant Still, The Beatles, Fred Astaire, Aaron Copland, Benny Goodman, Stravinsky, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly, Leonard Bernstein, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Sonny & Cher, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Madonna, Tina Turner, Taylor Swift, Carol Burnett, Grace Jones... and more.
Red, Red Wine anyone?
Inspired by Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne’s local a.o.c. restaurant, Ann’s Wine Bar pairs a wide selection of new and old-world wines with a signature small-plates menu. But don’t let this one breathe too long. Walk-in space is as about as likely as an Oasis reunion tour. So, you’d be wise to make a reservation.
Picnic? Check. Mountains? Check. The von Trapps? Sometimes.
Who says Hollywood’s no picnic? Let us prepare one of Suzanne’s delicious picnic boxes for you, packed with options to make anyone’s taste buds sing. Or you can build your own box in advance and pick it up from our new Plaza Marketplace. Then sit back and savor every bite at one of our scenic picnic areas or in the comfort of your seats.
The only time you’ll need to stand is to give an ovation
Quit waiting in line for your drinks and snacks and simply order through the app. If you’re a Box Seat Ticketholder, you get to take that efficiency to the next level and order ‘Supper In Your Box’ for any upcoming events. Just make sure you do it a day advance.
Smoke on the Water, just not here.
By law (LACC 17.04.645 to be exact), smoking is not permitted on the Hollywood Bowl grounds, except in designated areas. Violators are not only super lame, they're also subject to removal. Smoking in any other areas could lead to arrest and this would be considered a misdemeanor. So, unless you’re itching to have a criminal record, refer to our map to find areas at the Bowl designated for smoking.

Classical music with modern amenities.
Yes, it’s true, the LA Phil is getting savvy with our digital ticketing. You can now manage and access your tickets straight from the app. We know, we know. Cell phones at The Phil is a bit of a faux pas but we’ll pretend we haven’t noticed, as it means you get to experience the very best music in Los Angeles all from the palm of your hand.
No ifs and definitely no butts.
For the safety of all our patrons, and to comply with fire regulations, the aisles and walkways of the Hollywood Bowl must be kept clear at all times.
Be a good egg…
and only occupy a seat or remain in an area for which you possess a valid ticket. And you must provide your ticket upon request.
In other words, you snooze you lose.
As a courtesy to the performers and the audience, latecomers won’t be seated until the earliest appropriate opportunity in the concert – which is at the discretion of management.
We can't all be 6’3”.
Avoid blocking the view of others. That said, during some concerts, the artist(s) may request that people be permitted to stand immediately in front of their own seats during some parts of the performance. On those occasions, standing may continue but please be respectful of others and try to avoid blocking their view.
