Concerts in Brookside At The Rose Bowl

Experience Brookside At The Rose Bowl

Brookside At The Rose Bowl, nestled within Pasadena’s iconic Rose Bowl Stadium grounds, boasts a rich history intrinsically linked to Southern California’s cultural landscape. Originally developed in 1982 as a temporary stage for a summer concert series, its popularity led to permanent construction, opening fully in 1983. The venue’s amphitheater-style design, built into the natural hillside, provides excellent sightlines and acoustics for up to 18,000 attendees.

Brookside has hosted a diverse array of performers spanning genres like rock, pop, jazz, classical, and world music – notably including performances by Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, and Stevie Wonder. It's unique in being one of the few major outdoor venues *within* a historic stadium complex.

Beyond concerts, Brookside hosts community events and festivals. Amenities include ample parking (utilizing the Rose Bowl’s vast lots), accessible seating options, and various food and beverage vendors. Its location contributes to its appeal; it’s easily accessible yet feels removed from the city bustle, offering a quintessential Southern California outdoor concert experience deeply rooted in Pasadena's heritage.
