Crystal Palace Bowl Concerts 2025

In summer there is a pop up cafe here and the stage is made into a seating area.The purpose built small lake in front was devoid of any wildlife /plants and looked pretty grim but my dog decided he loved it and jumped in for a swim.Unfortunately at this point a couple of security officers came over and very rudely and loudly chastised us because the dog was in the water,They said the dog was disturbing the non existent ducks at the empty lake. One begs to ask,what does happen to the wildlife they claim is there when there is a concert and they pull a stage over the lake.I would have thought that was way more disrupting,not to mention hypocritical.There are plenty of other lakes and ponds there that did have ducks and I would not have allowed my dog to swim there for that reason.Very disappointing to have a nice day ruined....

I attended a concert here and the atmosphere was good. Although, i found the event organisation to be wanting! There were no ushers showing you where to park (as the event parking itself was closed). Then there were no signs indicating the location of the event (in areas around the venue) to make it easier for non-native visitors to locate the venue quickly and easily. I ended up walking quite a bit until i found the entrance. But once inside the venue, things were better organised. There were lots of food stands, bars and staff on hand to help. Jovial, festive atmosphere! Not too big so can get quite close to the bands.

We went to the South Facing Festival to see The Happy Mondays and James. It was a very well-organised event with a great atmosphere. I would definitely consider attending again next year.

Great venue for outdoor live music. Natural amphitheatre gives a great view from the whole venue. Iconic location for live music and open air performances.

Saw NGHFB here, spenny food & booze; almost criminal to exclude people's ability to bring own food (on *safety* grounds!). Show was the highest quality though... and easy to park nearby. (Don't bother with public transport!)
