Santa Barbara Bowl Concerts 2025

Went and saw Bad Religion and Social Distortion last night, haven't been to the bowl in years. Excellent venue. Great beer good bathrooms. Trolley rides up the hill is a plus if you don't feel like walking all the way to the venue. The stairs kinda suck but definitely worth the experience 🤘

We went to the Santa Barbara Bowl to see Van Morrison in September 2023. This venue is amazing! Perfect location, excellent acoustics, and very clean and beautiful. The concert was outstanding the people who run the venue are excellent. I would definitely go back to enjoy another concert.

I've been here to a couple of concerts. The venue is really nice and the food is really good. One thing though is get there early so you can park on the street nearby or at the school parking lot. If you don't you will walk a lot of blocks. Then you have the hill you have to hike up to get to the venue. There are trolleys that can drive you up there if you have health issues. The sound is awesome 👍 I love this place.

Amazing venue to see a show! Gives very similar vibes to red rocks but if it was just in a much richer area. Nice that the seats have backs but gets a little awkward if only half the seating area decides to be standing and some want to seat. If it’s an artist your really interested I’d recommend the GA standing section

One of my absolute favorite venues. And I am a concert photographer. I can't say enough about this place. It's magical. Entry is easy. Little bit of a walk up a hill but not bad. Scenery is gorgeous, and be sure to walk up to the top to overlook Sb to the ocean. It's remarkable! And you can park at the high-school it's safe and inexpensive. Or free in the neighborhoods.
