Miley Cyrus: Bass Persuades Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Miley Cyrus has returned to the full-scale concert stage in Los Angeles with Miley: Bass Persuades Live at the Hollywood Bowl, marking her first full concerts in four years. Staged across a two-night Friday and Sunday residency run at the 17,500-capacity Cahuenga Pass amphitheatre in Hollywood, the concerts celebrate her new era across Bass Persuades and Something Beautiful while testing a destination residency model where fans travel directly to Southern California rather than waiting for a multi-city bus tour.

Full Bass Persuades Hollywood Bowl Setlist and Special Guests

Performing beneath the Hollywood Bowl's famous concentric shell, Cyrus structured the evening as an eighteen-song journey blending electronic-inflected new cuts with the biggest pop and rock singles of her catalogue, joined by two surprise guests on stage.

• Opening Act of New Era Material: The performance launches with Orbit, followed by a live collaboration with indie-rock outfit Model/Actriz on Different Religion, before moving into Bass Persuades + Remixx, Handstand, and Something Beautiful.
• Covers, Collaborations, and Wayne Coyne Guest Spot: Mid-set highlights include her signature rendition of Dolly Parton's Jolene, Walk of Fame, and Redlights, leading into a two-song guest appearance by Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne for Do You Realize?? and Karen Don't Be Sad.
• Career-Defining Finale Run: The second half turns the hillside bowl into a mass singalong across We Can't Stop, Wrecking Ball, Snow, Used to Be Young, The Climb, Party in the U.S.A., Let's Get Married (joined by her fiancé Maxx Morando), and the closing anthem Flowers.

Why the Hollywood Bowl Matters for Future Residencies

Having avoided full arena touring since the 2014 Bangerz run, Cyrus had previously limited her recent live appearances to an intimate Something Beautiful album debut at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, a Spotify Billions Club evening in Paris, and the twentieth-anniversary Hannah Montana taping. She described the two Hollywood Bowl nights as a live dress rehearsal proving that audiences are eager to travel to Los Angeles for multi-night destination residencies. Travellers visiting Southern California for special amphitheatre runs can pair the Cahuenga Pass concert experience with our three-day Los Angeles itinerary covering Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood.

Because standalone Miley Cyrus headline concerts are rare events, passes for the Hollywood Bowl performances sell out rapidly on release, leaving only verified fan-to-fan resale allocations and official box office production drops closer to show night. Always check the official Hollywood Bowl calendar and Ticketmaster verified resale portal rather than third-party street sellers along Highland Avenue.

Reaching the Hollywood Bowl Without Parking Stress

The Hollywood Bowl sits in a narrow canyon pass along North Highland Avenue just south of the Hollywood Freeway (US-101), where stacked exit parking lots can take over an hour to clear after the final song.

• Metro B Line and Shuttle Connections: The fastest car-free route is taking the Metro B Line subway to Hollywood/Highland Station, then boarding the Bowl Shuttle from Ovation Hollywood or walking fifteen minutes north up Highland Avenue. Review our Los Angeles airport and Metro transit breakdown for rail links from LAX and Downtown LA.
• Park and Ride Bowl Buses: Los Angeles County operates dedicated Park and Ride buses from across the basin (including Westwood, Santa Monica, Culver City, and Studio City) that use dedicated bus lanes to drop concertgoers right at the main plaza gate. See our Los Angeles neighbourhood accommodation overview to pick a base near a shuttle hub.

• Note Lease Event Picnic and Alcohol Rules: Unlike classical LA Phil evenings where guests bring wine bottles, special pop and rock concerts at the Hollywood Bowl operate as Lease Events with stricter security rules prohibiting outside alcohol, glass containers, and large coolers.
• Rent a Bench Cushion Inside the Gate: Beyond the front garden boxes, most of the amphitheatre consists of long wooden benches; cushion rentals are available near the main plaza entrances for a far more comfortable two-hour show.
• Bring a Warm Jacket for Cahuenga Pass Evenings: Even after a sunny Los Angeles afternoon, cool air funnels through the Hollywood Hills canyon as soon as the sun sets, so pack a warm layer over your concert outfit.
• Walk South to Hollywood Boulevard for Rideshare: If you use a taxi or rideshare after Flowers finishes, walk down Highland Avenue past Franklin Avenue before requesting your car to bypass the post-show traffic gridlock at the Bowl entrance.
