About this spot
On our lists of the best live music venues and activities in Los Angeles.
Carved into a natural bowl in the Hollywood Hills, the amphitheater has hosted the LA Philharmonic's summer season since it opened on July 11, 1922, with terraced benches that seat about 17,500. The current band shell, a set of concentric arches designed by Hodgetts + Fung, went up in 2004; on November 11, 2025, it became the first stage in the venue's 103-year history to be named for a person, when it was renamed for composer John Williams. The county-owned venue also hosts touring acts across genres alongside its resident orchestra.
