The Crystal Palace Park Concert Platform, formerly the Crystal Palace Bowl, is an outdoor stage and performance venue in Crystal Palace Park in the London Borough of Bromley.

The platform and stage are positioned within a small lake overlooking a large bowl in the landscape that is capable of holding 8,000 people. The stage can accommodate a 100 piece orchestra.[1] The platform has what has been described as the world's first computer controlled outdoor active acoustic system[citation needed], with a total of 46 speakers. A pair of columns either side of the platform contain more speakers and an amplification system.[2]
