Irvine, Calif., officials voted last week to approve $130 million towards the construction of a new amphitheater in the city’s Great Park. The park’s board, which is composed of the city’s councilmembers, voted 4–1 in its approval with councilman Larry Agran dissenting.
The new 25-acre amphitheater will serve as the Orange County equivalent of Los Angeles’s Hollywood Bowl, according to city officials, and will replace the park’s current FivePoint Amphitheatre.
