It was a very nice concert, I had a blast,will definitely be there next summer!!
The festival starts at 3pm and runs until close to 11pm, be aware of the stacked parking and you cannot leave before then since your car is more than likely trapped. Also, do not take a umbrella with you, first time there and had no idea it would cause for me to go back to outside of the line to check in the umbrella which had a line. We had a good time enjoyed great artists but it did seem to go on longer than we liked with the car being trapped in parking. Seth MacFarlane sang most of the set for over an hour while the other performers seemed to have a five song limit. Next time we will park elsewhere and walk or take a taxi. Since the event runs so late, it is recommended to stay overnight if you live a decent distance away but plan ahead since hotels cost between $150-$400 for the decent ones.
I have been coming to the Playboy Jazz Festival every year since 1998 and each year the big name artist decreases. I enjoy going to see friends that I haven't seen in a while but I'm not pleased with the quality of artist that perform most are unknown and I know that there are more qualified artist out there. My friends always ask me who was there and I can only give them a couple of recognizable artist
All I can say is one word to describe my experience. I am a Cold Play fan for years and Janelle Monae was and is always an Amazing performer.
I love this event and it needs to be an annual thing!! Great day around fellow music lovers, dancing and amazing performers. A MUST!!!
This was my first time attending the festival, been wanting to go for a long time. The lineup was great, the people were great & Hollywood Bowl was the right place for it. Keep in mind, I flew in from NJ! I will definitely be back next year!
These two musicians made this concert an unforgettable event! Joey and Joshua, what a combination. Next time they should perform together.
Great musical lineup. If you enjoy people watching, you won't regret attending this event.
Took my husband for his birthday, he kept saying it was one of the best gifts. Friendly people and good music, is always a good time
First time attending and I thought it was very nice. Will attend again.
I enjoy the fun party atmosphere but there are too many people that attend this festival who forget there are amazing artists performing live. For those of us who actually want to listen and enjoy our selves please be considerate.
A very good variety of acts. The Campbell Brothers' A Love Supreme was great. They also played very inspiring songs from their gospel roots. Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party was very good. Herbie Hancock was great as always. Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Jazz Band got the place moving. I would recommend this annual event to anyone that enjoys jazz and jazz inspired music.
Ditto my review title! Even though the not so famous jazz musicians were great the bulk of groups played smooth jazz which got monotonous at times. Especially with only two performances that got the Bowl rocking, dancing on their feet. Great seeing old-school group Third World who still rocked the Bowl along with Ledisi. Still great music, people, food, spirits and the beach balls will be forever fun!!! Thank you Hollywood Bowl.
The lie up for Sunday was great and I absolutely loved Ledisi!
Awesome music great venue and terrific healthy food coices. Best to BYOB like we did.
Great event and environment, can't wait for next year!
This was my 10th PBJF and it was my best one ever. All the regulars in SEC N1 & N2 Matt yu know who you are where there. I had it all beach balls (landed near me 6 times) jello shots, beads, ribs, wine and a lot of Greens. Can't wait until next year year.
It was a great show!!!! Glad I went. I enjoyed the music!
What is it about the mix at the bowl? We can't seem to get the mid and high mix right at the lodge level. Went to see Snarky Puppy Sunday and the horn mix was so bad 75% of the time you were struggling to hear the melody in the tune. I was left wondering if there was anybody at the front of house position that knew the artists music? Unfortunate... should have saved the $200.00, stayed home, and listened to the CD....bummer.
