The Hollywood Bowl hosts a fireworks-filled summer bash each year, and this time around the Beach Boys will have the honor of tackling the show. Bring a bottle of wine and sit through the show (tickets start at $29 way in the back) and then stick around for the post-concert pyro, held after all three dates.
