The Hollywood Bowl is celebrating 100 years.
The amphitheater, located in the Hollywood Hills, opened on July 11, 1922, and has since been a music landmark in Southern California.
Over the years, music lovers around the world have gathered at the venue to watch iconic performances from the Beatles and Stevie Wonder to Adele and Lana Del Rey.
The Bowl has also made appearances in films like George Sidney’s "Anchors Aweigh," starring Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, and Peyton Reed’s "Yes Man," starring Jim Carey and Zooey Deschanel.
