Built in 1936 as a WPA project, the Santa Barbara Bowl is one of the most scenic and iconic small amphitheaters in the world, attracting the biggest names in music with its unique ocean and city views from its landmark Pavilion stage. 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.
