Seriously Awesome Concert Venue ! I love, love, love this venue! I was there for the first time this year to see Mumford & Sons. Such a small place that every seat in the house is great!

LAist

The Greek Theatre, nestled in the heart of Los Feliz and surrounded by trees and mountains , is easily one of the most beloved outdoor venues in L.A. Read more

Sam Wing

Park in the neighborhood just south of Los Feliz Blvd. The walk up to the park is nice and you save yourself an insane amount of time and stress.

I love amphitheaters , and this one nestled in Griffith Park is awesome. Beautiful hillside views , excellent acoustics and not a bad seat in the house. Check out events happening on summer nights

Sara Romano

Such a cool venue! Try and get there early, because the common area outside is very cool, grassy, and overall a great place to sit and hang out before. Truly is a concert under the stars.

Connie Chiu

I love this venue, almost more than the Hollywood bowl ! Smaller and more intimate with a beautiful landscape. The food is not bad, drinks are expensive though. Do the offsite parking ($10).

Andrew Couldwell

Wow, what a venue! Great sound and perfect setting surrounded by hills and trees . Even the area outside the event space is cool for pre-show drinks and food! 👌🤘

Stacey~Marie

Best concert venue in all of LA! Not a bad seat in the house. Much more intimate than the Hollywood Bowl .

Nitie B

Fabulous show! GreAt place! Amazing trees and sound and bar . I didn't get the memo that you can wear high heels and tiny dresses as you climb the stairs in November #coloradogirl

Melissa Polinar

I call it a "mini-Hollywood bowl" -- I sometimes prefer the Greek because it is less intimidating. I love this venue to catch some of my favorite artists/bands.

Suzie

My favorite outdoor venue; no real bad seat in the house. Pay for parking online beforehand to avoid stacked parking . Dress warm!

LAist

It has 6,000 seats, which leads to more intimate concerts with some big-name acts. Unfortunately, you can't bring your own food or drinks to the venue, but they sell goodies there, so you're covered. Read more

Where Los Angeles Magazine

The Greek’s size (fewer than 6,000 seats) is far from overwhelming, and with excellent natural acoustics amid the towering pine trees of Griffith Park , the venue is even a little romantic . Read more

Dee

Oh yes - certainly awesome that it is one of the favorite outdoor places in LA to rock to live music . Proud that it is part of our LA culture scene:)

George Chearswat

Great venue! Can get cold in the winter months so be sure to bring a blanket! Also, parking on event days is cash only so be prepared!

Geoff Yale

Great venue for a show. Amazing sound, great sight lines from every seat.

Raymond Arturo

Beautiful venue. Lovely dranks. Good vibes all around. I went to see @alabama_shakes and took an unexpected to trip to music heaven.

Chantell Dawn

Most beautiful venue (location in general!) that I've experienced since moving to LA one year ago. Great atmosphere and performance at the Eek! Halloween extravaganza :)

Dee

Try to drive the streets that run parallel to sunset blvd to get here in time - it can get crazy. Not crazy abt the food choices at the concession stand - closest thing to healthy is veggie burger .

Lauren :D

Great venue! Probably my second favorite outdoor venue behind the Hollywood Bowl .

The Standard

CA (See) A more intimate version of The Hollywood Bowl , The Greek offers great acoustics in an amazing outdoor setting . Bring a date, it's also a perfect spot for makin' out!

Melissa 💋

My favorite venue in LA! And it just got better with $7 offsite shuttle parking . Buy parking online first before heading out to your show and thank me later!

Zigabid Zig A Bid

Ticket buying tip: opt for seats in the center (3-digit seat numbers). It's the best view in any section. I'd settle for a center seats in B over sitting far left or right in A any day.

Vince Bannon

Great Shows! Great Space for shows!

Sabrina Aflalo

I love the Greek!! Def my fav venue in LA where u feel like ur in the middle of the forest , listening to amazing artists under the stars!

Karl Hobart

You can park in Los Feliz Village and walk to the Greek. It's less than a mile.

Jennifer

Stacked parking is the woooooooorst here. Carpool, but choose the person in your group with the SUV. You will probably find yourself parked in the woods.

The Wild Honey Pie

This beautiful amphitheater was actually used as barracks during World War II.

Ken Carson

The intimate setting at Greek Theatre was always a favorite of Barbie's. We'd dress to impress, have a nice dinner and enjoy an outdoor show under the stars. Very romantic .

Idea Monkey, Inc.

The Greek Theater opened in 1930 and promptly burnt down. In 1931 after reopening it became home to numerous productions in the 30s including many by the Works Progress Administration Federal Theater .

Jessica Plautz

If you have dinner in Los Feliz, you can walk to the theatre and avoid the parking situation. It's less than a mile and it's a pretty walk.

Cayla C. G.

It was so freaking awesome !!! I love The Weeknd , XO til I overdose ❤❤❤

Mike Johnson

Absolutely one of the most beautiful venues on earth. Nice acoustics .

Adam Valencia

It is better to pay for parking on there website, it is a little more expensive but it is easier and you are not being parked in a lot that only has stack parking

Noni O

The sound quality between section A and B is ridiculous. Pay the extra to sit in section A.

Maroon 5

This is one of our favorite places to play AND see shows, and it's right in our neighborhood ! - James and Mickey

Tim Mather

Excellent ambiance and size. Easy to get to.

Dylan

Get the wine by the bottle for only 22.50. Yeah...it's crappy wine but you get the most bang for your buck.

pizo

Even the bad seats are good 👍🏼 "Quick Park " is expensive , but so worth it

Boy Racer

Get Aldous Snow to The Greek Theater . Enjoy the sex, drugs and adventures along the way!

Angela P

Bring a picnic dinner and park in the lower lot; you can avoid all the crappy waiting for parking , and enjoy a stress-free dinner !

Ramy Eletreby

Great concert venue in a romantic setting . Griffith Park is the backdrop.

Brian Fulsom

It was a fantastic venue! Bring cash though because various card machines went down.

Zigabid Zig A Bid

On Sunday, Oct. 27, bring the whole family to The Greek Theatre for the third annual EEK! at The Greek, a symphonic Halloween extravaganza .

Ed Vazquez

Do dine and ride from the restaurants that let you park for the whole show and shuttle you to the front entrance

Melissa 💋

I love the ushers at this venue, they keep the drinks in check!!!

The best outdoor venue in LA ! Definitely get tickets to a Summertime show - well worth it!
