The Best Concerts Events in Los Angeles to Hit This Week

If you’ve been wondering why your group chat suddenly turned into a spreadsheet of RSVPs, it’s because concerts events in Los Angeles are on one this week. Nearly 2,300 people are already circling, clicking “interested,” or fully committing to a night out, and honestly? It tracks. LA’s got that sweet spot right now where big rooms, weird side projects, and tiny backroom shows are all popping at the same time.

This week’s best concerts in Los Angeles aren’t just the usual arena suspects. You’ve got Eyes of the World: A Benefit for the Rex Foundation with Cubensis, The Great Divide, and Shaky Feelin’ pulling the jam-band faithful and Deadheads out of hibernation. Over in Highland Park, YOB and Early Moods at the Lodge Room is the move if you like your live music heavy, loud, and best experienced with earplugs and a beer from Johnny’s in hand. Russian rock nostalgists are quietly losing it over Группа "СЕКРЕТ" • Los Angeles, while electronic heads are treating An Evening With Drink The Sea like a full-senses field trip instead of just another night out. And if you’re into vintage romance and deep-cut songwriting, Janet Klein’s Love Songs – Music of the 1910s–1930s is the left-field date night that’ll make you feel like you time-traveled out of modern LA entirely.

If your ideal show involves sticky floors and bands that sound like they loaded their own gear in from the sidewalk, Full Offense, Hamapple, Goners UK, Bats in the Belfry, & Jumpstarted Plowhards at The Redwood is pure downtown energy—gritty, noisy, and very much the opposite of bottle service. Meanwhile, the city’s heavy hitters are still doing what they do best: The United Theater on Broadway is where you go when you want something that feels like An Event; Walt Disney Concert Hall remains the city’s crown jewel for sound (even your friend who “doesn’t really do classical” shuts up once the lights go down); and Blue Note Los Angeles is sliding into the scene with that polished, late-night jazz-and-cocktails kind of vibe.

So how do you actually choose? If you want big feelings and a sense of occasion, start with Disney Hall or the United Theater. If you’re in a ‘discover my new favorite band by accident’ mood, go Lodge Room or The Redwood. If you’re a scene loyalist—jam bands, niche electronic, vintage jazz—lock in those benefit nights and themed evenings now. This is what discovery looks like in Los Angeles right now: a little scattered, completely overbooked, and absolutely worth leaving the Westside for.
