The Hollywood Bowl just announced the 2015 season, which includes none other than our Essex heroes:

ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE

Electronica icons Underworld return to the Bowl in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their legendary album dubnobasswithmyheadman, performing epic tracks from that dance music game-changer along with other landmark house and techno hits.

Re: 2015_21_7 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Hope I can make this, not gonna be easy....

Re: 2015_21_7 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I may try for this. But coming from NYC... ugh. No warm up shows on the east coast? :D

Re: 2015_21_7 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

It's Father's Day. So now the debate is, do I bring my older kids?

Re: 2015_21_7 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

OMG

I just went to the Bowl for the first time last fall, and I absolutely loved the venue. I'll have to find a way to get to this show. If this had only been a month later, it would have been a lot easier for me to attend.

I would imagine that there will be a few additional U.S. shows announced also. This one was probably announced early because it's part of a concert series. Perhaps they'll finally get that Red Rocks show?

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Pricing airfares for this...lest its a one-off. Its been 8 years since NYC.

Red Rocks would make my decade.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Fingers crossed for more U.S. dates; L.A. is not good for me as I no longer drive.

I'm also hoping for an appearance at Moogfest 2016. Check out the "Durational Performances" they held in 2014 and tell me if that doesn't sound right up UW's alley.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I hear ya. This year my chances of being able to afford it are VERY slim, but I can't resist checking it out. It's been 13 years since Chicago!

Anyone know of any inexpensive hotels near the Bowl? Or would it be better to stay by the airport and cab it in? What's the best way to get around if you don't drive?

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I'd say part of that question is relative to how long you'd be staying in L.A. Also, there is literally nothing of real substance or interest by the airport whereas Holly-weird offers a fair share of options within walking distance or short ride.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Thank you. I'd be coming purely for the show, so it would just be an overnight trip, maybe two nights depending on flight schedules.

Someone on another forum mentioned the Hilton Garden Inn or Orchid Suites Hotel. I haven't checked out rates yet, but is anyone familiar with those?

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Interesting that the press release doesn't explicitly say they're playing Dubnobass in full, which was very much the big deal about the Royal Festival and subsequent show. I wonder if there's concern that the American fan base would be less interested in the limited setlist? Or maybe the boys got bored? Or maybe it's just a copywriting oversight.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I read the announcement on the Facebook page as meaning they would be playing Dubnobasswithymyheadman' in full, but your right, it doesn't explicitly say it.

I hope to make it. I would be coming from Arizona. I've never been to the Hollywood Bowl, But I know how iconic it is. Did anyone here see UW at The Bowl back in 2007?

Hopefully the single event tickets are reasonably priced, and that some of the close sections are available.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I suspect ssomething similar to I<3techno. I would love a 2 hour set that starts with d&l, finishes with RoB and includes dubno style versions of the obligatory hits. Not likely but would be cool.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I was at the show in 2007. My soon to be brother in law got married the day before in Sacramento, so my now wife and I took a trip down I-5 the next day to get to LA. I had seen UW 3 times before in indoor venues and there was something magical to seeing Born Slippy played under a clear sky with that many other people around!

Plus, they played Juanita and the guitar jam version of Glam Bucket, so that was awesome too (http://uwlive.rowla.com/gigs/view/285)

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I've read great reviews of the Hilton. I've never stayed there, though. I've stayed at the Best Western on Highland (it's the closest hotel to the Bowl). It was worth it when it was $100 (it's now more than double that..definitely not worth that). Hollywood Orchid Suites is good if you want a full kitchen. I like that place, but it's not very modern if you're a stickler for that--especially if you're used to Hiltons, Sheratons, Westins, etc. I try not to stay there anymore because about 2 years ago, it started attracting noisy tourists who wake up at 6am to go do tourist-y things. There are other hotels/motels on Sunset near In-N-Out if you're on a budget. Don't stay at the Motel 6 on Whitley near Hollywood Blvd., though. That place is horrid.

The 'nice' thing about Bowl shows is that they have an 11pm curfew, so with the 20 minute-ish walk to the Red Line (the subway) or opting for one of the Bowl shuttles, it's easy to stay in another part of town.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

We did a group block of 16 tickets (all of which were spoken for almost immediately after we made the reservation). It brought the price per ticket down to around $33 per and our seats are in section K, just a few rows back from the Terrace Boxes, which are about five times the price.

Only group and subscription tickets are available and the best seats seem to have been snapped up in the closer sections near and around the Super Seat locations. (Refer to the Hollywood Bowl schematic to understand what I'm talking about here: http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/seating#section=1).

But there should be plenty of good seats available at the sides and the sections behind F through K, though finding a few good ones in those areas is also feasible, I would imagine. Otherwise, the boxes are probably going for about $150-200 per person. I was in a Garden Box back in 2007 and it was an amazing place to see the show. If you've never been to the Bowl, it's a must.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

How'd you do the group buy? All I'm seeing is subscriptions for the series of shows at the bowl, which I definitely don't want.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I'd be interested in a group buy, even at full price, if we could snag one of the pool or garden boxes. Heck, I haven't seen UW for 13 years and I'm blowing my annual budget on just getting there; a little extra for a good seat won't hurt. Anyone else interested?

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Sorry, I just caught up with the thread and read your post. I've made a tentative reservation at the Hollywood Orchid Suites because of a recommendation on one of the Radiohead forums, so I'm glad to hear it seconded! I might be waking up at 6am to catch a return flight anyway, so no worries about the tourists. Thank you for the tips!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

No problem! Hope you like it there, although it sounds like you'll barely be there (I want to sleep in, so I'm staying somewhere else). Oh, for info, Orchid has a keyed entrance (normally, the front desk buzz you in), so be prepared to use your key to get into the hotel post-show.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I'm certainly interested as well. It is likely that I'll be in CA around that time, so I'm not going to miss this!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Turns out their group services department is closed for the weekend. I'll see what I can find out on Monday.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Good to know, thanks! Means I'll bring a small handbag instead of relying on pockets. (The minutiae of being female.) :D

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Thanks, Jason! I did the same today and was just heading over here to post it. I put down the $99 deposit. We haven't yet confirmed the exact number of people so far, but it looks as if we may have about 4 tickets remaining in row 12 *correction* of section F2 at $33 per person. Please contact me before you buy your own as we need to meet our 10 minimum, Thanks.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I wrote down the following prices for the individual ticket sale on May 3rd from the phone conversation I had today with the Group Sales operator, who was very helpful. I hoped I remembered it correctly:
$32, $39, $60, $100 and $141.

Jason

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Thanks so much for the price info Jason. That helps out a lot. It's nice to know there's a significant drop after those high priced box seats.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

So the only way to get an affordable ticket is via group rate? :/ If this is the only US date then I'm seriously considering this. I have enough sky miles for two out West. Really don't want to pay the subscription rate of over $100.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

The group rate is 20% off the individual ticket price (not counting the $9 group order fee). Furthermore, if there are any subscription seats left over before the individual tickets go on sale, the group tickets are given the option to upgrade BEFORE the individual tickets are allocated. (I double-checked with the venue and have this in writing.) So these are not only the best price, they're the best choice of location outside of buying a subscription or going through a scalper.

They're supposed to contact us regarding any upgrades near the end of April, in the order that group tickets were requested. I know that SappysCurry is ahead of us with a sixteen-person group. Who knows how many others. Our group has six people confirmed so far and we're trying to meet the minimum of ten. Anyone?

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

As one of the six in the previous post, I really hope that this all works out and that I can see the show with fellow Dirties from the forums here. Takes me back to 1999 when I met up with ~25 folk (including cdave2, right?) from the dirtylist at The Golden Nugget before that show at the Riviera.

Certainly gives an extra sense of community :)

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Yes, and I remember meeting after the Riviera show in 2002, as well. I think we had some CDs to trade, didn't we?

Great times at the Golden Nugget! Oddly (because I'm never early for anything except a concert), I was the first one there and had to ask the restaurant staff to direct anyone looking for the dirtylist to our table. "It's named after a song. We're here for a show, " I explained. They thought we were a theater group!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Just a reminder...we still have four seats available in our group of ten, and group seating has priority over the individual seats going on sale May 3rd. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Stubhub link for people, most likely season and subscription holders, already trying to sell their Underworld tickets.

And now Ticketmaster has their direct link for the Sunday, May 3rd, public sale.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Anyone happen to know the password for the presale that starts in 10 hours?

Also, looking at what's available on Stubhub and the prices right now, I have a feeling that the secondary market is going to be soft, and that there will be plenty of good, affordable seats available as the date gets closer.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I didn't get one in my email...I thought my settings were correct for it. I'm searching for it, and will gladly share.

---Jason

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Just found it.... Using the code 'HB2015' worked for me to look at presale tickets for the Underworld show. I found it via another band's facebook page (The B-52s of all groups)

edit ----As of 11am California time, there are some pairs in Sections D and E (to the left and right of the Terrace level section), those are $56.50 per ticket. There are a few singles in the sections directly behind Terrace level, those range from $50 to $70 per. And then behind, plenty to pick from.

Curious to see if anyone here was able to get something good with this.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

What the - !? Presale? I didn't get an email!

Off to call the Bowl...

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Troy, please check your PM's. :)

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

We may have 3 seats in terrace section 2 available. I'm waiting to hear from someone who had previously expressed interest.
