Vance Joy concert at Hollywood Bowl canceled due to power outage

The concert scheduled for Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Vance Joy, Grouplove, and Tiny Habits was canceled due to a significant power outage affecting the venue and surrounding areas. This outage was part of a larger issue impacting tens of thousands of residents in Los Angeles, exacerbated by a heat wave that has gripped the region over the weekend. As of Sunday evening, over 71,000 customers had experienced power disruptions, prompting officials to take action regarding the concert. Hollywood Bowl officials issued an apology for the inconvenience and stated that if a new date for the performance could be confirmed, ticket holders would be informed, and their tickets would remain valid for the rescheduled date. The cancellation is particularly disappointing for fans, as Vance Joy is currently on tour celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his acclaimed album, "Dream Your Life Away." The concert was also part of the KCRW Festival at the Bowl, which is set to conclude its summer series on September 22. Tiny Habits was scheduled to open for Vance Joy, while Grouplove is on their own tour, with their next performance planned for September 17 in Atlanta, Georgia. The next event at the Hollywood Bowl is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, featuring Gustavo Dudamel leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." The power outage and subsequent concert cancellation highlight the challenges faced by the community during extreme weather conditions, affecting both entertainment and daily life.
