The LA Phil’s 104th season at the Bowl runs June through September 2026, and Maestro Gustavo Dudamel is back for his 17th year holding it down — and yes, as his final season at the Bowl, they’re literally throwing him a whole celebration week. Celebrating Gustavo at the Bowl brings together the LA Phil, YOLA, and wait for it… Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters with a full orchestra and youth musicians from Los Angeles.
Concert at the Hollywood Bowl we’re excited for:
- Juneteenth with Chance the Rapper — a celebration that actually means something
- Blue Note Jazz Festival (June 13–14): Patti LaBelle, Samara Joy, Gregory Porter, Robert Glasper, Wyclef Jean and a stacked undercard hosted by Arsenio Hall across two days.
- A Roots Picnic Experience with Nas and T.I. — hip-hop royalty doing what they do
- Salsa Night: Nathy Peluso & Grupo Niche — the Bowl is gonna be MOVING
- Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute to John Williams — the fan favorite returns, now on the newly renamed John Williams Stage
- Bob Moses and Cannons: The Afterglow Tour — get ready for some cathartic dancing
- The Classical World Cup — the LA Phil scores a World Cup-themed program pulling from across the Americas. ¡Golazo!
- See the full lineup
And that’s just a few. Per usual, the summer concert season at the Hollywood Bowl is filled with variety. While their usual indie and alternative-leaning performances are light this year, we’re hoping the LA Phil will fill in the blanks very soon with some standout acts we know and love. After all, this is Los Angeles, home to the world’s biggest music scene with a large footprint in indie music.

How To Get Tickets To the Hollywood Bowl’s Summer Season
Per usual, single-show tickets to the Hollywood Bowl won’t be available until May. These tickets will go on sale May 5, at 10AM PST. Set your calendar alert! However, fans can get tickets now through New Subscriptions and “Create Your Own” packages starting March 24.
Select shows are currently on sale for single-day tickets. Visit the Hollywood Bowl for all the details, and be sure to only purchase your tickets directly from the Hollywood Bowl. The season’s tickets are sold directly through the Hollywood Bowl’s website; don’t fall for third-party speculation tactics.
Please note: Live Nation-Hewitt Silva (LNHS) also books shows at the Hollywood Bowl, but those are not part of the LA Phil-presented official summer concerts season. Needless to say, LNHS has some great shows coming through. Tickets generally cost a lot more, whereas LA Phil-presented shows are much fairer in pricing and more accessible. Some concerts at the Hollywood Bowl can be purchased for just $1, and many can be bought for just $10 and $16
You can bring your own outside wine and beer to LA Phil-presented shows at the Hollywood Bowl, but you can’t do that when it’s a Live Nation show.
