You can’t think of summer in Los Angeles without the Hollywood Bowl. And this year the Bowl aims to make it a “Forever Summer” with a seemingly endless lineup of unique concerts and annual traditions that will have you heading back again and again. And there is literally no better time to choose your own summer adventure because single day tickets for the ’26 season just went on sale TODAY!
The schedule includes, of course, the usual suspects: the Blue Note Jazz Festival (June 13-14), an amazing opening night with the Best of Broadway (June 20), the Tchaikovsky Spectacular with Fireworks (July 31 – Aug 1), Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute to John Williams (Sep 4-6), Mozart Under the Stars (Aug. 11), and plenty more of your yearly faves.
But with 2026 marking the final season of Gustavo Dudamel as Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, it also means with an array of incredible programming to highlight the iconic conductor, including a LA Phil collab with the Foo Fighters (Aug. 22) and Dudamel’s Playlist (Aug 21), a special evening where Dudamel curates the action, bringing a bevy of surprise-filled performances to the stage.
As the season continues, you can catch ten special movie nights, including a weekend long celebration of the Music From the Films of Wes Anderson (July 10-12) and How to Train Your Dragon in Concert (Aug 9). Plus there’s Blues Traveler (July 18), ZZ Top (Aug 5), Al Green (Aug 14), St. Vincent (Aug 2), and just announced additions including County Crows (Aug 7-8), David Byrne (Aug 28-29), and a Lucy Dacus team-up with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra (Sep 13). And we’re still just barely scratching the surface of what’s on offer!
Yes, we know, there’s a lot to unpack and A LOT to choose from. But make sure you swing over to the LA Phil website to scan the entire 2026 lineup, then start claiming individual dates to make this your best summer yet. We promise you won’t regret it.
