Nearly a year after Kygo‘s massive October 2024 performance at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl, fans can revisit the experience via a new concert film.

Kygo: Back at the Bowl opens in theaters across the U.S. on Friday, Sept. 26. The hour and 40-minute film captures every moment from the Norwegian producer’s Bowl show, which included appearances from special guests including Zak Abel, Ryan Tedder, Ava Max and Zara Larsson.

The Oct. 17, 2024, headlining performance marked Kygo’s second appearance at the Hollywood Bowl, as he first played the venue during a pair of shows in October of 2016. These earlier nights generated their own documentary, 2017’s Kygo: Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

Last year, Kygo told Billboard that his approach to touring has changed dramatically in the years between these two Hollywood Bowl performances. “It was like every show was life or death,” he said. “I was always very nervous. It was like, ‘This is the most important [thing ever], and if I mess up tonight, my career is over.’”

Given this pressure, the star producer “wasn’t really able to enjoy the shows that much,” he shared at the time. “At one point I was like, ‘I’m probably never going to tour again,’ because it was just so exhausting.”

But with a shift in attitude, Kygo said that the 2024 run that included the Hollywood Bowl set was “definitely my favorite [tour] that I’ve done so far.”

Starting in September of 2024, the 35-date trek moved through arenas and amphitheaters in North America, Europe and Central America, averaging slightly more than 10,000 tickets and $838,000 in revenue per show, according to numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore. The run continued into 2025 with shows in Asia, Australia and North America.

Kygo’s upcoming concerts include plays at his own Palm Tree Crew festivals in Montecito and Napa Valley, Calif., on Oct. 4 and 11, respectively.
