One of the greatest and most historic music venues anywhere in the United States, the Hollywood Bowl is a modern amphitheatre tucked into the famed Hollywood hills. Offering seating for nearly 18,000 guests, this venue is the largest of its kind in the country, and has been home to a plethora of events since its opening in 1922. While the shape and construction of the amphitheatre have changed throughout the decades, its importance to the Los Angeles area and the music industry in general has not. Some of the most famous names in entertainment have played its illustrious stage, including Nat "King" Cole, The Beatles, Billie Holiday, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Kylie Minogue, Elton John, Al Jolson and Simon & Garfunkel and more. The fame of this iconic venue has transcended the music business, making its way onto the silver screen in such movie classics as “A Star Is Born,” “Hollywood or Bust,” “Beaches,” “Escape from L.A.” and “Yes Man.”
