Heading into its 81st season, the 4,562-seat amphitheater has hosted an array of musical giants including Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode and many more. Recently, the Bowl was voted best live music venue in Santa Barbara by both the Santa Barbara Independent and Santa Barbara News-Press, respectively.
