    Bruce Springsteen 4/9/26
    Steve R.

    I like coming here for a concert. The sound is way better that Crypto, SoFi, or other big venues in the area. Inside you good sight lines from every seat. Getting in to park can sometimes take awhile but no too bad. Bottom line is that to hear/listen to a band in a big place this is the best place.

    My feelings for the Kia Forum are mixed as this was my first time attending for a concert. I don't live locally so I was a bit unsure of what to expect. I flew in to see Miguel on March 13th, 2026. My uber driver was able to drop me off to the venue fairly close so that was helpful. Since it was my first time I didn't know when the doors opened you still had to wait in the lobby area to access your seats. That quickly became very hot and uncomfortable standing closely with one another, also noticing plenty of people were carrying bags that were not clear which was a policy of the venue. While I loved the idea of the grab & go market section I wasn't a fan of the $30 deposit to enter the gate. I ended up getting some fraudulent charges, even though I was able to dispute it wasn't helpful during the trip I took. But again brilliant idea to cut down line wait time which I appreciated. My seats were great however the lighting and sound quality not so much which was extremely disappointing. As the first few openers came on I began to worry about a few things. The first being I couldn't hear, it was so loud I had to wait about 20 seconds to figure out what song was even playing, the next issue was it was dark on stage I couldn't see the artist. While Miguel put on an amazing show this made it so difficult to watch as I've waited years to see him. I am glad by the time we got to our seats they had finally turned the AC on as it was very warm in the lobby. But then it became uncomfortably cold. I normally run cold so I thought it was just me but everyone in my section put their sweaters on as well stating it was colder than usual. As I can look past all other minor issues the sound quality along with the lighting was my biggest let down. If i was to return I would have to do more research for seating and views as well as bringing some earplugs.

    The Kia Forum (or The Forum) is one of the older performance venues in Los Angeles (opened on December 30, 1967). The venue was renovated from 2012 to 2014 and purchased by Steve Ballmer (the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers) in 2020. This is one of three indoor arenas in Inglewood (Kia Forum, SoFi Stadium, and Intuit Dome). The arena used to be the home of the Los Angeles Lakers from 1967 to 1999. Musicians and bands like Queen, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, The Jackson 5, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Prince have performed here. Recently our party came here to see one of the Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball shows. [Parking]: Expensive onsite parking. I went with an alternative option by using ParkWhiz to find cheaper lots at Freeman Medical Building Lot (301 N. Prairie Ave.) or 323 N. Prairie Ave Garage (323 N. Prairie Ave). I only ended up paying approximately $16 for the night with advance booking at 323 N. Prairie Ave Garage. Our party also paid $20 for a one-way bike cart ride (worth the money and a huge time saver since the walk was approximately 0.7 miles). Our party walked back to the lot at the end of the concert and the neighborhood felt very safe at 12 AM. [Food & drink]: Very limited food and drink selection with pizza from Fresh Brothers. This is also a cashless facility. [Bag policy - entering into the stadium]: The stadium has a clear bag policy (clear tote not to exceed 12" x 6" x 12"). Otherwise visitors can check in their bags for a fee. [Amenity]: The Forum offers free WiFi, and the speed was surprisingly fast. [Experience]: The sound quality was good from Section 211 Row 16, but I really wish the Forum installed a giant video board like the ones at SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome so viewers from the upper levels can get a clearer view. [Conclusion]: This arena feels like a very outdated performance venue and is outclassed by SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome. Honestly, the venue probably needs another round of renovations.

    KIA FORUM @ LOS ANGELES This venue is known for hosting some of the biggest concerts, and I came here to see John Summit. Parking can get pretty expensive, I heard it can go up to around $40, so my friends and I decided to park at another friend's place and Uber over instead. The venue was completely packed, which made the energy even better. The Forum itself is beautiful. I love how colorful the exterior is, especially with the artist's name displayed outside, it just builds the excitement as you're walking in. Inside, there are plenty of concession stands for food and drinks. I didn't purchase anything because, like most concert venues, the prices are pretty high and the quality usually isn't amazing, so I'd recommend eating beforehand. Our seats were on the second-to-top level, and honestly, they were still really good, especially since we got our tickets for under $100. The performance from John Summit was incredible. The sound, the lights, the crowd, everything made it such a fun experience. One thing I would note is that it does get a little chilly inside, so I'd recommend bringing a light jacket or scarf just in case. Also, be prepared for heavy traffic afterward. If you're planning to Uber or Lyft, it can take a while. Our Uber driver had to circle the venue three or four times because security was directing traffic and clearing people out. Overall, I would definitely recommend seeing a concert here. The energy and overall experience make it worth it.

    The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, is a great place to see any concert--also known as just the Forum. Their sound system is state of the art. It was partially designed by musicians (the Eagles) to ensure great sound from any seat. Now, the place is huge, so get there early and get in line early. The staff does lack in helping you find your seats and it is round so you can end up so lost. There are not enough bathrooms. Parking is horrible. Again, get their early or buy parking. All events are sold through Ticketmaster, or AXS. Try to get tickets as soon as you can because the best events, like New Edition or Lady Gaga sell out and then you will be stuck seeing them at some huge stadium that is really meant for football. They don't even have close to enough handicapped parking places and I see them violate the law all the time by blocking those required parking spaces with VIP parking or merchandise tables. All the above sucks, but none the less, if you want to see a great show, Bruce Springsteen is, coming go there. It is worth the hassle. Although I would love some lawyer to come after them for the way they treat the disabled, but who doesn't. There are plenty of food choices both insider and on the outside property. They have plenty of vendors. Have fun.

    I came to the Kia Forum for the very first time for TWICE's This is For tour and the acoustics in this stadium compared to other concert venues that I've gone to is pretty good. Props to TWICE's team and/or KIA Forum tea for selecting a 360 stage layout. It felt like no matter where you were sitting, you had a decent view. Check their website for what you can or cannot bring. We brought a clear bag within their size guidelines to store our portable chargers and light sticks. If you bring batteries for your light sticks, they will ask you to throw it out or put it back into your car. My only gripe about this venue is the expensive parking. I wasn't expecting parking to be free, but dang, $51?! Thankfully we carpooled so it wasn't too bad. What was nice was that they did have traffic control set up so leaving the venue wasn't horrific, so I guess it all works out at the end!

    First time at this venue for a concert and I enjoyed it. It is a smaller venue than most arenas but the acoustics here make it even more amazing. Any seat at the forum has a great view of the stage. Highly recommend purchasing parking before hand. Granted this is a very old building, the restrooms were in the basement. If your knees are not well enough to handle a few STEEP flights, you can locate some same level ADA restrooms next to where they sell merch. Food here is pricey as expected but I appreciated the amount of concession stands around the forum. Can't wait for another concert at this venue!

    Review of my experience with parking: Last night was an epic fail at Kia the New Edition concert. I have previously attended three concerts there and never had no issues with the parking. However, my experience last night was a nightmare. When my friend purchased the tickets online, there was no option to buy parking passes. Both of us had researched how to get parking passes with her ticket purchase and had no luck. I called the Venue since I wanted to find out how to purchase a parking pass for disabled parking. I couldn't get a response. I also could not get a response on ADA seating within the venue. There certainly wasn't enough staff or signage to direct traffic. It was a gauntlet. When we finally came up to the parking, no ADA parking available then we were directed to the Sofi stadium, which was across the street. Obviously there's no way that anyone who's looking for accessibility parking could walk that far. We inquired about a shuttle and that wasn't available. Parking at the SoFi stadium was $60. And there was no designated accessibility parking. It was basically a free-for-all. No staff directing traffic. We were just told to park as close as you can to the pedestrian street crossing that will take you to the entrance of the Forum. Needless to say there was no way I was going to be able to walk that distance. We left looking for a parking lot supervisor to see if I could get refunded the $60 parking fee. I was told that since SoFi is not part of the Forum- I could not be refunded my money I kept on asking and asking finally they took my name, number and receipt and said they would have a supervisor contact me. I am not confident that I will get a refund, but at least I tried. So despite all my previous good experiences parking at the Kia Forum, I have to say this horrible experience is my last impression and I will think again before I attend a concert at that venue.

    For the second time attending concerts here, I've always come home satisfied. Best artists performance, crazy and fun crowd, plus nice and helpful staff. Drinks we're good, nothing special and expect them kinda pricey. Parking is far and of course, spots nearby will take advantage for the event, ranging from $40-$50. however, venue parking is well-staffed and organized. Finding a good place to eat is a struggle because of long lines & reservation is a must without validating a parking ticket. Overall, with experience and fun night, it's totally worth it! Looking forward for the next one.

    I have been to the Kia Forum before, a few times, no more than three or five. Every other time I went, I was a non-yelper. Thus this review is written from the eyes and hands of a Yelper who steeps themselves in experience. And this experience began before I entered the parking lot of the venue. From going to other nearby Inglewood venues (maybe in venue blvd?), I know that parking can be at least an extra 20 dollars, and near or on-site parking is 50 dollars, in the least and maybe more. Some people might want to pay the tax, and others do not, for an array of reasons. I know that shifting parking fees at venues are common knowledge but a reminder on these may crystalize options for another and thus I share so people have the needed information to make a judicious choice. I decided to park about 20 minutes from the Kia Forum, but 30 for me as I have short and stout steps. Walking in the evening to the place and seeing the new lights, bing-out billboards, and stores of Manchester bvld made Inglewood a spot that I want to visit to experience the recent face lift. I stepped into the line of the venue around 7:30 p.m. 30 minutes before showtime would allow me to find my seat, buy a drink, use the facilities, and in general, respond to the unforeseen hurdles of attending a concert. What was great about waiting in line, was that I could see, hear, and minimally feel roaring aircraft from above. I took a video of a plane, soaring above, to share the feeling of mild anxiety and wonder I felt when the sound and air vibrations hit my skin and drums. I found my seat around 8:00 p.m. And the show did not start till after 9:00 p.m. Waiting in seat, was a drag, or, more like a buzzkill moment. I was ready to dance, hear tunes and, in sum, wiggle and pound to back-in-the-day beats. But I all I could do was wait, feeling my kite lose altitude. I asked one of my neighbors, and she explained that a performer might be late, and thus the party could not begin. And she joked that soon we would be ready for bed, and even though she was joking, she was not wrong. I have known wait to bring notes of slumber as well. During the wait, I went to spend more money on a double cocktail, and a charcuterie board. The extra expenses were sponsored by the wait, I needed something to do. Perhaps, this is the reason, that the venue/performers/sale strategists, elongated the wait, to give people boredom that could be filled with spending money. The cocktail was legit, and worth its 33 dollars, it sustained my buzz. The charcuterie board was in every sense of the word, a boredom bite, the crackers were stale, and now I worry that I ate food past its expiration date. At the same time, I can see someone say that one does not eat packaged crackers, cheese and salami in a cocktail and fries spot, and thus I have no one to blame but myself. And I can easily see their side of the cracker. The actual show was a blast. I remember one of the performers, asking us to sing a long to him like we were "drunk in the shower" and that type of imagery will stick with me for the rest of my mind. DJ Cassidy was high-octane and kept the bodies movies, laughs coming, and grand marshaled the line-up in a grand way! The venue itself pulsated with lights, sounds, lasers, and movement, it was another character in the party, and frankly, the life of the night. What stood out to me, was how most concert goers used their phones to honor the show. One time I was seated in the front rows of the show and I turned around and saw all the camera lights around, which was happy-inducing. This time I saw in the nosebleed section and saw so many phones recording and clipping the different moments of the show. One of my neighbors, that sat across from me, perched his phone on a railing and either record or live stream the whole situation. At one point, I saw the show, from a phone, as it was recording, and I honestly thought that the show was better through the phone camera, perhaps it was better built to capture the light spectacle that abounded. I want to end this Yelp by citing that the pillars that surround the Kia Forum speak of Ancient Rome in modern Manchester Blvd. I was not wearing a Yoga, or Laurels, nor do I bow to an emperor, but still, I saw a show that pushed me to applaud and chant, just like if I were watching a show held in an old timey colosseum, except here there were no warriors figthing lions or tigers, just Nelly and Ashanti confirming that it was hot in here.

    I came here for the Twice concert and they had a 360 stage which made every seat at the Forum a good view! The parking lot was very easy to get in and out of and getting in and out of the venue was easy too. The staff were all very helpful, one staff even showed us the bathrooms outside that had a much shorter line. After the remodel recently the Forum got even nicer. I really enjoy this venue!

    Cynthia M.

    I really like the Forum. The size is great to watch a concert, I figured the best area to get seats. The bathrooms are easy to get to and the lines have never been too long. I've seen some great concerts there!

    Willie L.

    Came out to the Kia forum for a concert. The venue was a bit older but it was perfect for a concert. Got some hotdog and popcorn for the show. Was a bit pricy, it was what is available. Enjoyed the show and was able to get in and out quickly.

    How were the floor seats in section C?

    They are fine as long as you don't have tall people in front of you.

    What time do concerts usually end here?

    All depends on what their set time will determine the end time or how long the set will be for the concert

    Where is the Terrace for preshow activities? Per our know before you go. It opens at 5. Food, drinks, available for purchase.

    For any preshow, to access the terrace, you'll go through security at the designated gate on your ticket. After passing security, you'll get to the terrace area. You can explore around the building, checking various food, drink, and merchandise… Read more

    How handicap accessible is the floor seating? Is there a ramp, or are there steps? Also, are there any family, or gender neutral bathrooms?

    There are steps up to either the outdoor street dining area, the patio area, and the interior floor seating. There is no ramp.

    Is it safe for 2 young women to walk one mile to a hotel after a concert at Kia forum?

    I wouldn't recommend it. No.

    I have already purchased prepaid parking for the Kia Forum parking lot. Is it possible to get there, park, and then step out the venue to walk to a nearby restaurant and then come back for the event? Do they allow this type of in and outs?

    Yes. You can walk out and in. But not driving your car out and in.

    Interested in going to the Aerosmith concert this December and the only seats that I can kinda afford are behind the stage. Will you be able to see the performers from behind the stage? Does anyone have any photos from those seats?

    I've been to serval concerts at the Kia forum and I haven't seen a set up were the seats are behind the stage?? But it is a good place for a concert.

    Going to the Joji concert next month with a friend. We plan on Ubering there from a nearby hotel. Concert starts at 8. What time should we head over and is it easy to get out?

    Check the set times for the show and opening act. They stick to schedule. It's very difficult to get out and takes a long time for a ride. We did manage to get an Uber but it took time

    How do I get a parking pass in advance for a concert? I want to park as close to the forum as possible and not in an adjacent lot but I don't see parking for concerts on their website.

    By a parking pass where you purchase the tickets or get to the Forum early to park as close as possible.

    Is there Air Conditioning inside?

    Yes

    Are they actively checking for vaccination proof or negative Covid tests?…

    I was there a month ago and they were.

    When you buy food, drinks, and/or, merch can you pay with cash or is a credit card required?

    You can pay either

    So i went to the stray kids concert and i was puchasing my merch but they charge me for a hoodie (i told the girl that I didn't want the hoodie since I was going to take the shirt), does any one knows how can i request my refund or the merch?

    Probably not as most of those vendors are specific to that concert. You can try contacting their customer service in the web site but it's doubtful. Good luck

    Can I hang out in the parking lot and wait for my daughter until the concert is over? Is there a place to sit outside the venue? We want to Uber there and back.

    Yes there are plenty of places that you can sit but it's not like a tables or benches. You can sit on the block wall and read a book or play on your phone. I definitely think for the Forum Uber is the way to go. We Ubered from Lakewood to Inglewood… Read more

    Anyone know about vaccine checks or covid testing for this venue?

    I was there about a couple months ago and they were asking for vaccination card.

    Are the seats comfortable for a plus size individual?

    Floor seats were great but very close to each other so I don't think so. Now if you sit on the end of the aisle maybe a bit better

    Do they hand out wristbands for floor seats tickets? I know they give wristbands for GA, unsure about floor seats.

    I'm not sure about getting wristbands for floor seats. You may have to call the Forum or see if there is any information on the website.

    What time does the parking lots open before an event?

    The last event we went to the lot opened around 4pm (doors opened at 6pm and concert started at 7pm). Best to check the event page though, sometimes it changes.

    Is there a purse/bag size limit and is it enforced? Their website says they welcome clear plastic bags and clutches, but I'm unclear if that means larger purses are prohibited.

    The size of the handbag/clutch can't be larger than 4.5" x 6.5" They compare it to a sheet of paper folded in half to measure if they think it's larger. The clear handbag can't be larger than 12x12x6 or you can bring a gallon ziploc bag instead.… Read more

    Seeing Billie Eilish in April 2022. How early can we start lining up? Planning on getting there early AM to secure one of the first spots in line but unsure how early we can be there.

    Their website says for general admission, you may start lining up at 9:00am the day of the show. Numbered wristbands are handed out to the line at 5:00pm.

Loud music bumping but it wasn't disturbing. Eventually made it inside. It's very spacious. Another bar located inside. A lot of TVs and chairs. A great hangout spot for drinks and to watch some sports. Great service at the bar. Both bartenders were real cool. And the drinks were about average price for a bar with no happy hour. Paid $33 or $34 including $2 tip for a Cinépolis Old Fashioned and Mango Rita. Couldn't take pics of the room cuz they collected our phones before going inside. However, it's big with a lot of comfortable seats. And it was clean. There was popcorn already placed at every seat for the guest. There could've been better communication regarding the reserved seats. Whereas just about every seat had a sign reading "reserved". Parking is free for the first 3 hrs with validation. There are 2 machines available from what I saw. One near the front desk and entering. Then another near the bar. Parking was free for the first 3 hrs.

    Last Friday, I viewed "Michael" at the Inglewood location and was shockingly disappointed because…read moreI've enjoyed all of my previous experiences. I was actually looking forward to going, as it was my anniversary and my partner has never been. The night started off great, but quickly went downhill as soon as we walked in the door. 2 of the ticketing machines were inoperable. But, I was able to figure it out. So, no big deal. Once we got inside the actual theater, the floor was sticky and the entire room didn't seem like it was cleaned that day. There was trash on the floor, my seat didn't fully recline, and much of the leather was pealed off on the seat. On top of that, the restrooms were just as unkempt, my reward for signing up for their membership club was unavailable, and my partner's drink was totally forgotten with the delivery of their food. I tried fixing it by looking on their website, QR code on the tray... something. But, couldn't find a reasonable way to contact anyone without leaving the theater and missing the movie. My partner also brought up a very valid point of the popcorn being served in metal bowls, that might share the same hygiene habits as the floors and seats. To which, I could neither argue nor defend, because at that point anything is possible. Overall, I felt embarrassed for suggesting we go here and always giving rave reviews, as our experience turned out to be terrible. Thankfully I have an understanding partner, or this would totally not be OK.

    So I saw a screening of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER at this IMAX headquarters yesterday for the first…read moretime. The building was beautifully designed and immaculate. The seats were very plush and comfortable. The screen and sound system were state of the art. The problem was that there were roughly 6 rows of seats that were so close to the screen that it was impossible to enjoy the film. Audience members were actually getting nauseous during various scenes. If you are forced to see a film here, be sure to use the back row, but it still may not be far enough away.

    I was excited to receive an invite here to see 'Oppenheimer' since I am several months late after…read moreeveryone else has seen this. I'm glad I waited! Being very unfamiliar with this area, it seems like a rather remote location with a bunch of luxury apartments where most likely the tenants work from home, and the corporate buildings would be something such as google, etc. IMAX seemed to fit right in. Since it was a Saturday, I was a little hesitant since the parking arm was down, and there wasn't a booth. Finally after seeing it open for a delayed time, I drove on in and found a spot out front, although the garage visitor entrance was right in front. After checking in with a human at a table setup, I had to check in on an ipad which takes your photo (which I'm not a fan of) but the security/desk lady was really nice and helpful, directing us where to go. Up a flight of stairs, the theater was to the right, and it was a nice one. I know the middle seats are ideal for this kind of place, but I stayed off to the end as I prefer and it was still easy to view. This was the kind of theater where you can feel the floor shake in certain scenes which added to the experience. Not the fault of this theater by any means, this movie was long, but I'm glad I go to see it on IMAX (and free). Unfortunately, there was zero food/beverage as other people experienced a spread at their screenings; that was not the case here and I was starving and unprepared. Thanks to the desk lady, she gave me a bottle of water so I had something. Never assume! If you get a chance to watch something, go just to say you did.
