The weird thing about Los Angeles is that there really isn't a suitable outdoor amphitheatre (except for the Hollywood Bowl). Bands as popular as Fleetwood Mac have to play one of the sports arenas when they hit L.A. -- Staples Center, the Forum, the L.A. Sports Arena or even the Long Beach Sports Arena.
The closest large amphitheatre is Irvine Meadows, which is about 50 or 60 miles south of L.A. Huge bands generally play Irvine Meadows and/or the Arrowhead Pond (a sports arena). They usually ship the OzzFest out to Devore in the Inland Empire to play the trashy amphitheatre out there.

I don't think Hyundai Pavilion in Devore is trashy at all. What's trashy about it?
Unfortunately they are playing Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, which I think sucks.
