Playboy Jazz Festival Tickets

It was a wonderful day all the way around, I especially enjoyed the E.Band, featuring Sheila E. & her father Pete Escovedo. But hands down, the highlights were first, Liv Warfield! She is a Force on that stage!! Just wow! And then there's Janelle Monae & her band!! She was just Amazing & left us all wanting more!! I overhear a couple behind us say that they had never heard of Monae before, but that they felt she was the best act of the day & I'd have to agree!

I always enjoy day 2 at the PB Jazz Fest. I love meeting new people. Food. Dance. Music. I wish the lineup had more known acts. But Janelle Monet was THE BEST!! She is utterly amazing. I tried BOX seats for the first time. I cannot go back to the benches. It's a whole different experience from the box!! I love it!! See ya next year.

Got there late, but enjoyed the show. Robert Cray band was great with tribute to bb King. However, Janelle Monae was not good, put on the wrong bill. Voice was fair, absolutely waste of time. She is a pop singer, not jazz artist, and not good. Bowl is always fun

Hollywood Bowl by itself is an amazing experience, but then throw in multiple talented and entertaining jazz musicians and nearly eight straight hours of fantastic music, and it's hard to imagine a better way to spend a day! The revolving two-part stage means there is no down time between acts, and the energy of the crowd was fantastic -- everyone is so happy and laid-back and jamming to the music, can't wait for next year!

You should go . It was great. Pack your own drinks and snacks. Bring a sweater and where comfortable shoes. I recommend closed toe. I wore sandals and stepped in something awful.

I love the acoustics here at the Hollywood Bowl. The lighting and background was beautiful. Security was on their best behavior and for the most part didn't bother people dancing or chit chatting in the aisle. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Minus a star for the atrocious parking, they only have stacked parking on the location, so if you drive around be prepared to spen d another $25.

Had an amazing and wonderful time!!!! Enjoyed George Lopez as the MC. The tribute to B.B. King was remarkable. The Escovedo Family and their Latin Jazz was simply mind-blowing. Had a great time and experience.

for decades this is a wonderful afternoon / evening of jazz

Great event, great venue. Wonderful vibe, lots of positive energy and great music. Lineup was well chosen, each act as good, and the evening just kept getting better. Worth the long drive, would definitely go again!

So glad I got to see Janelle Monae perform. She killed it. The rest was meehhhhh. But I had a good time. Good group around us. I'd go again next year.

We've been attending with my in laws for several years. Always have a wonderful time

All acts were very entertaining and made for a fun-filled evening. I enjoyed the great atmosphere at the bowl. it was like a giant block party!!!

This was my first time at this event. We had a great time.Took the shuttle with ease, paid $6 a person and it took it straight to the event gate. I would recommend the shuttle as parking is a nightmare $23.00 to stack park. Once in the event, security was great, got us through the line quickly and into the event. The line up was awesome, no breaks. All the entertainers were ready to go right after each other. Great group of people around us. We will be going again next year.

The Playboy Jazz Festival 2016 (Saturday) did not disappoint. There was a great vibe in the place, as usual. The music was excellent. Joey Alexander is a young genius! Naturally 7 was amazing and Los Van Van put on a great show. My only complaint was the sound was terribly inconsistent the entire show. There were times when we could barely hear any singing over the instruments. It was a real distraction for me and my step-dad, especially because we weren't inebriated like most Jazz Festival goers. Other than that, I had an amazing time and look forward to next year.

One of the best events of the year every year. Music, love, and movement! Stupendous!

Lots of maijuana in the air. Very low key affair. Not sexy or glamorous at all. Weather was gloomy and wet. We got stuck in the tunnel to parking lot C. Very overcrowded. Lack of pedestrian traffic control. Probably wont be back. Masters of ceremony George Lopez was bland and out dated. Lacked true soul. It only picked up at the end with some conga beats. Ill go back when Im 60+ over. Or married 25 + years.

very disappointed in this year's line-up.....with all the great jazz artists available seems like they could step up they're game...one of the most disappointing shows yet...we've been 18 years now and this was the worst...rethink next when picking line-up

Past shows were better. A well known musician usually ends the night with an unforgettable performance. This year I left early cuz the music was stale and boring most of the night. Things changed after Bill Cosby left. They need to revamp their lineup, especially for Saturday's show .

This was my first Playboy Jazz Fest, so I did not know what to expect. This will be my last! This is the first time I have ever had a horrible experience at the Hollywood Bowl. The crowd was not there for the music, only to socialize and occasionally look over and hit a beach ball, one of the many through out the day. The only time the crowd went silent and actually respected an artist was for the group Naturally 7. The bowl staff did not have control over the crowd. I understand that it wasn't a classical concert so the level of quietness would be different. But I went there to watch Seth MacFarlane perform and it seemed like he bored the crowd in my upper section, all of promenade 3. Whoever made the lineup for this performance did not take into consideration the flow of music and artist change. Naturally 7 was more upbeat and had the crowd standing, clapping, and dancing. Seth was more mellow and his music was much slower. He does have a big name, but because of the music tempo progression through out the progran, he should have performed earlier in the day. The few portions of Seth MacFarlane's set which I was actually able to hear over the heckling crowd were great. It was just very disappointing that people do not respect performers. If that is the atmosphere of this crowd every year, perhaps the organizers should reconsider the musical acts they select.

Of all the years I have attended, NO ICE CHEST size enforced, until now. I paid extra money for the ice chest, and the Bowl staff Still did not let our Ice chest into the venue. Not happy with the bowl, we tried and follow rules about fire marshall regulations and paid for the seat.
