The Beach Boys To Headline July 4th Fireworks Spectacular In LA
The iconic group is returning to its California roots for a concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
LOS ANGELES, CA — This summer, the iconic Beach Boys will return to their California roots to headline the July 4th Spectacular. Tickets are now available for the anticipated event at the famed Hollywood Bowl.
Named one of the best 10 live music venues in the United States by Rolling Stone in 2018, the Hollywood Bowl lives up to The Beach Boys' legendary status. The amphitheater is located in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Aside from its recognizable band shell, the venue is entirely outdoors, so don't forget to pack your sunscreen for the July 4th concert.
The Beach Boys are among the most influential acts to perform at Hollywood Bowl. Founded in Hawthorne, CA, in 1961, the band is known for creating early surf music and representing counterculture of the era. With 36 songs on the U.S. Top 40, they have the most hits of any American rock band.
