Hollywood Bowl Concert Canceled After Power Outage Amid Heat Wave Chaos
**Hollywood Bowl Concert Canceled After Power Outage Amid Heat Wave Chaos**
In an unexpected twist, the Hollywood Bowl had to pull the plug on a much-anticipated concert this Sunday due to a power outage! The venue, set to host Vance Joy, Grouplove, and Tiny Habits for the KCRW Festival, went dark, leaving fans in the lurch.
Located near Highway 101 and Highland Avenue, the famous theater was hit by an equipment failure caused by record-breaking heat. According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), the intense temperatures gave electrical systems no time to cool down, leading to an overheated grid and mass outages.
Hollywood Bowl management quickly took to social media to assure fans that tickets would be honored for a rescheduled show once a new date is locked in. If you’re a ticket holder with questions or in need of a refund, Public Services can be reached at information@laphil.org.
But the Bowl wasn’t alone—more than 15,000 customers across LA were without power, with areas like Harvard Park, Hollywood, and Northridge feeling the heat. LADWP is working tirelessly to fix the outages, prioritizing those who’ve been in the dark the longest and even delivering ice to help people cool down. Patience will be key though, as some customers may wait over 24 hours for repairs.
