There’s nothing quite like taking in a summer concert at the Hollywood Bowl. With pre-concert picnics, an incredible atmosphere and tons of great performances each and every season, there truly is nothing else in L.A. exactly like a night at the bowl.
This year there’s a number of performances I’m particularly excited about including the annual Playboy Jazz Festival, A Live Presentation of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, and a 30th anniversary tribute to Back to the Future (just to name a few).
