Miley Cyrus returns to live performance with her first major concert in four years at the Hollywood Bowl, launching a two-show run Friday night for “Bass Persuades – Live at the Hollywood Bowl.” Reports describe the performance as emotionally charged and cathartic as she plays to audiences at the iconic Los Angeles venue.
Outlets also frame the show as a notable comeback: the Los Angeles Times characterizes her return as an “ambivalent” one, while Variety highlights Cyrus leaning into an “anti-pop pop” persona for this era. Variety’s review notes the staging and pacing of the concert, including her movement from a B-stage area back to the main stage, and observes the physical and emotional impact of the choreography and performance demands. A separate Variety report provides details of the setlist and confirms the second show is scheduled for Sunday.
Across coverage, the shared focus is that Cyrus is resuming large-scale headlining concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, marking a milestone after several years without a comparable, full-scale run.
